Lawrence Van Gelder New York Times Films like this give the impression that the director, writer and producer are more interested in filling time than being novel and creative.

Audience Member This family dramaedy in the 1980s is really good, acting is superb and the kids play off each other really well with adults protrayed their parents and young married couple who learn to be like family and realize of course that money and working is not important things in the world. It does have '80s cliches like music to feel moments of each scenes and have that '80s Rock crazed right your face like a typical movie in the era. It nice see the clothes and see how it was those days like seeing TVs, kitchen and the house decor as chance as much as quality of today standards for a TV movie. What I like about is was original and it did dealt with class and yes they end up of loving the kids but journey brings you ok with writing, actors, beautiful locations and direction that feel boring the minute the movie starts. All in all definitely I give a A+👍👍👍👍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
