    Putrid, Steaming Pile of Vomit!

    I rented this film because I had fond memories of the original Lucille Ball /Henry Fonda version from the 60's.The plot is based on a true story of a large blended family. This version--I'm burping bile just thinking about the obnoxious spectacle I've just witnessed--is the modern, trendy take on the original. The first warning siren went off when the original story line is tortured into a politically correct format--we now have a guy with 8 kids, and a woman with some natural kids and a bunch of multi-racial orphans. I was squirming when the approximately 7 year old gay oriental fashion designer orphan was hamming it up. In this version, we have Dennis Quaid as the dad--brother Randy would have been more suited to this mess--I guess Dennis needed the paycheck--parts like this have the whiff of extreme career decay about them. Rene Russo plays the idiotic mother--blechh! A new housekeeper character is introduced--she's an alcoholic midget played by Linda Hunt. Throw in a pot-bellied pig--the producers must have rented it for a week and were determined to get full value--I felt sorry for the pig! The family moves into a delapidated light house in Connecticut which would probably cost about $4 million in real life. Oh yes--truly puke-tastic scenes of little kids falling out of high windows. The whole thing is a nauseating mess--it's so assinine that even 5 year olds would be too sophisticated for it!!

    Yours, Mine & Ours

    Funny film about 2 large families of 8+ kids get together by their parents marrying. The kids pitch a vengence to split up their parents until finally they realise they get on very well together & school is easier against bullying as their brothers & sisters all stand up for each other . Then its too late they have already split up their parents!! What will they do? has drake & carly in , out of drake & Josh. Good family film
