Marje K I am a huge movie fan, but there are few movies that amaze me enough that I want to see it over and over again. I'll never get tired of this movie. It's one of my all-time favorites. My only disappointment is that somehow there was a disagreement over rights or something and that gas made it nearly impossible to get a VHS or DVD copy of this gem. I don't think it's appropriate for children under 12 (others might say under 8, but not me). Definitely a good chick flick (if it's still ok to use that term), but I think guys could enjoy it as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
