DOVE
WORLDVIEW:
The kids are funny and the story is good! This film is about a blended family and it demonstrates that families are worth fighting for or, in this case, overcoming the struggles and growing pains. The story focuses on Susan and Jo Jo, and what happens when they are left with the maid while their father goes out on a date with his fiance. The maid quits because of Susan's attitude and it becomes a revolving door for the kids who wind up with several families watching them. The girls have an adventure before eventually arriving home. The story might remind the viewer of "Home Alone." The language features a strong word but other than this the content is fairly tame. We are pleased to award this movie our Dove Seal for ages twelve plus. Enjoy the kids and laugh along with their adventures.
