Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
michaelschaubach I was excited when I saw that this was going to be on. And then when I watched it I died a thousand deaths. I'm glad everyone came back to do this movie though. I hate renunion shows where there is a cast member missing (i.e. Brady Bunch when Cindy didn't return). The scheming at the end of the film was horrible. I was waiting for the big surprise ending. Something cool. Something worth waiting around for. Nothing. The only good thing that came out of this for me was to see Tracy Gold and how healthy she looked. Considering she almost died I was glad to see her at a healthy weight. This made me think of a movie that needs to be made, Jason Bateman vs. Kirk Cameron. Jason Bateman would so win. He's way funnier and still acting. They could wear capes and have super powers. It's just a thought.
18 Interesting movie. I sat down to watch it frankly because I enjoy the reunion shows, even though most of them are painful to watch. This one had the characters to be just that. Most of the stars have minimal work since the end of the series. That, of course, is not saying too much because this series went off the air in 1992, and just 8 years later, there is a reunion movie. I just thought "Already?" when I saw previews of this. Anyway, this stank of being a "We're out of work and need the money" move on the part of the actors, but was really a little better than that.Somewhere, somehow there was a plot change in this movie that completely threw the storyline into the crapper. From what I understand, originally Ben Seaver(Jeremy Miller) was to have become an alcoholic. Throw that in and some things start making a whole lot more sense. Mike was incredibly upset that he wanted to take his kids, and later had an accident because he had the music up too loud? Ben "finds" himself at the end of the movie helping people? Throw the alcoholism storyline in and the whole thing makes alot more sense. Unfortunately, I imagine that Disney was behind the removal of this plot point, and the movie suffers because of it.
Cyprus386 The Seavers are back. Everyone, take cover. Mike and Kate have adopted needy children, Carol holds takeovers in her spare time, Benjamin runs a "business" and slacks off, and Chrissy was magically aged to seventeen. Maggie runs for Congress against the boss who fired her, and Alan rallies the family for the campaign. Most people are wondering what happened to Luke, that homeless kid the family took in. Well, he won't settle for television, made too much money for his own good in 1997 with a certain boat movie, and is the type who won't admit to doing a sitcom in his early days of stardom. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I suggest you find a rerun of the original series. Better yet, only a true fan of the original would completely love this one.
Josh Lewis The "Growing Pains" show was always full of fun. But made into a movie was more like a drama then a comedy. I must say the acting was ten times better, and once you watch the whole thing, you begin to like the seaver family. Although, you do miss the old house, and it seems a little too big for the Seaver family. It grows on you. I must say that Kirk Cameron has become a perfect actor, and seems that he now really knows how to act and isn't that "corny little kid" anymore. In fact, Kirk was the highlight of the movie. The plot was a little weak and could have been better...but all and all it was pretty good. If anything, maybe they should take another shot at it with another plot, because there was something I liked about it. Good...nice...funny...movie. It was pretty good! I would not be surprised if Hollywood grabed Kirk Cameron back for a few new movies...he has what it takes.
