Absolutely charming, an old school romance that would never see the light of day in the noughties.
Full of genuinely funny moments, particularly from Shelley Long chastising her infant on the dangers of sticking fingers in sockets or eating oil covered bolts in a non-chalont manner. Leads look great and have the timing for comedy. Jamie Gertz never fails to charm.
Funny, romantic, inspiring and beautiful, says this soppy old romantic.
