Factual errors: When Mary's grandmother is in the principals office the principal refers to her grandmother as Mrs. Gallagher, but later on we learn that she is the mother of Mary's mother. Her last name would only be Gallagher if she was the mother of Mary's father, not her mother. moreMovie Connections:

This is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. There are many really great belly-laughs here. There also are some very heartwarming moments when Mary Katherine Gallagher conjures up feelings of sympathy for her plight as a "nerd" among "beautiful people." The ending was wonderful. I really enjoyed seeing Glynis Johns again. I've always enjoyed her performances very much. All in all, I think this is an all-round good, very enjoyable movie!
