One Word Description: Surprising
Family Appropriate: Definitely!
Basic Outline: High school sweethearts, Frank and Helen, meet at a high school reunion. They have both lost their spouses and have very large families. On a whim, they decide to get married. This seems like a great plan, until they try to get their very different families to live together. He's in the Coast Guard and runs his house like the military and she's a free-thinking, almost hippie, artist. Their kids decide this is not going to work out and set out to break their parents up.
I know this one's been out for a while, but I thought I'd review it for anyone like me that didn't bother with seeing it. I was very pleasantly surprised by this movie. I expected something more along the lines of "Cheaper By The Dozen", which was not my favorite. It was surprisingly funny and had a good solid plot line!
I have also heard that the original version of the movie, starring Lucille Ball is excellent. I have not seen it yet, but hope to do so soon. If you've seen both, please leave a comment and tell me which one you like best and why!
Recommendation: Watch it!
