Thank you Annette, 14 May 2005
10/10
Author: 3boys1girl from United States

I have just seen this movie for about the 5th time. i grew up watching mickey mouse club (i'm 60) and all of the beach movies. but as the other reviewer said, this movie made Annette real and approachable. i saw her a few times at PVC......she is one of the nicest people in the world of entertainment.........and the movie showing the relationship between her and her mother was heartwarming.........i don't know how she is now with her ms.........but i hope she is doing well and happy and happily looking back on the remarkable life she has had. God bless her and thank her for all the hours of entertainment she brought so many people.......
