User Reviews

Warm and cuddly but predictable

This one's for Lifetime fans. Two young sisters lose their parents when dad goes to Vietnam and mom splits for the bright lights. Two tracks to the story: The girls live with their grandparents (Melissa Gilbert and Corbin Bernsen) on a farm in 1967 and the adult version of the girls return in 1996 after years of estrangement. Added complication for the little girls is learning to understand their senile great-grandmother (Cloris Leachman). Mild drama, mild comedy. Happy times, sad times. Made-for-TV level production. Predictable, not memorable.
