Great Movie!, 25 December 1999
9/10
Author: dutrihack (dutrihack@hotmail.com) from Ontario, Canada

This is a great movie because....

1. It is a real life situation for some unlucky people, which helps the cope.

2. It includes comedy, celebrity appearances, etc., which everyone likes to see in a TV movie. (Included were "S CLUB 7")

and lastly:

3. It is family oriented and shows that no matter how much a person screws up in life that they will always be loved. (Example is how the mother (I forget her name) is always trying but never succeeds and eventually her oldest daughter (I believe her name was Livie) "comes to" and realized how much her mother is trying.)

That is basically my review.
