    • Quotes

      Annie: Mrs. Burbridge, would you come over here for a moment? Has it escaped your attention that these children have head-to-toe poison oak?

      Adele Burbridge: Well, no, I... well, yes, but...

      Annie: But what? My children are in need of medical assistance! And you can sit here and smugly lecture me on the importance of tests? Tests which exist to pigeonhole children's potential, a thing which cannot possibly be measured, least of all by anal-compulsive huns! And my husband may be a "large child," but that's none of your business! And my children may be rotten, but they're mine. And I think that they're bright, and sensitive, so I have no doubts whatsoever about their intelligence. I do, however, have serious doubts about yours!

      The MGM/UA Communications Co. and MGM logos are both plastered with the lone MGM logo in the post-1997 VHS and DVD prints while others prints have the opening and closing 2001 MGM logos.

    Definitely a great 80's film and possibly one of the best rom-coms of all time
    I love this movie, it has a great cast (Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn), a great soundtrack, some light humour, and a really nice ending.

    Definitely far better than the reboot that came out in 2018, and makes me feel happy every time I watch it.
