A sweet film that deserves more love, both for the great performances from the whole cast as well as the genuine sense of love that radiates from its core. It's a nice tale of found family that manages to stay clear of sappy territory but still has some stakes so it doesn't get boring.
I think this is Andrew McCarthy's best performance and I could tell that he cared about the kids he was acting alongside and they felt like a real family. Men being paternal always hits me where it hurts. McCarthy brought such gravitas and naturalism to his role that I haven't seen in many of his…
this was the cutest thing ever i wish andrew did more of this back then. just as i thought i couldn't love him more he proves me wrong again with every film he's in, he's so endearing. and also really great with kids, the chemistry was so good between all of them. they felt like a real family and you could feel the actual care andrew had for these kids it's so adorable. i let out a giggle when i saw the grandfather disguise its so bad that its funny
