    Movie with a "STORY" or plot, wow!!!!
    I bought the movie at K-Mart myself, watched it and thought oh boy, black and white. I sat through the entire movie, went and got some popcorn and coke and watched it again. No "T & A", no fould words, no super suggestive scenes. Just a cute, wonderful, and decent movie. My daughter, age 17, came home and she watched it and liked it. simple, but fun to watch.
