A movie full of memories!, 26 September 1999
Author: praha (mmindell@knox.edu) from Galesburg, IL

I have not seen this movie since preschool, but I've remembered it vividly for years! It was not only humorous, but full of lessons on being yourself. Let me just say that Marlo Thomas was years ahead of her time, but I'm glad she had the foresight to create this. As soon as I find a copy, it's mine!
