Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the movie's message. Do comedies often have messages? Do you think the movie remains relevant today when kids are more knowing and parents divorce openly, rather than hiding it as these parents did?

Very touching!
I liked this movie a lot. For sentimental reasons, I like the Lindsay Lohan version, better but this classic film has better acting better singing and a more wholesome message. A rare treasure
