A fun movie for the whole family, 3 September 1999
7/10
Author: Cal-37 from Las Vegas

Give this movie a break! Its worth at least a "7"! That little girl is a good actor and she's cute, too. Jim Belushi is a comic genius. You can't help but feel good at the end! I wish there were more wholesome shows like this, that you can enjoy with your kids!
