Is there another version of this movie? I get the sense that it was severely edited to have Universal release it. There is a lot of religious references that really don't make any sense in terms of the plot. It's almost like this was going to be released by some sort of church then Universal picked it up. Then Universal told them to tone down this 84 minute movies religious message. The last five minutes of the movie is a blooper reel. The movie is about kids trying to prevent their parents from getting a divorce. As several reviews have pointed out Scott Baio and Kristie Swanson have zero chemistry together. There is a subplot about Scott Baio's work that literally required Scott Baio's character have a monologue to explain exactly what was going on. This movie is poorly written, poorly acted and just poorly looking. I don't understand why the movie didn't go through some color correction. It's quite jarring to go from vibrant outside color filming to poorly lit sets. This movie cost $1 million. Where? Don't bother with this movie, it's 84 minutes I will never get back.

A plot is essential when writing a script. Incredible... Maybe next time?

Disappointed. A plot is absolutely essential when writing a film.

Cute movie, funny enough and i am able to watch it with my kids without being afraid of nudity or bad language.

Pathetic... just like Scott Baio's "acting" ability, as well as his self-inflated opinions. Don't waste your time.

It's just the saddest and most pathetic movie you might ever see.

I found this to be a great movie to watch with the family. It has a great message.

This was a very cute movie for the family. The only reason there are so many negative reviews is because he is a conservative. People cannot separate politics from personal.
