Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Nobody-27 Let's be honest here: there are films which are pretty much an art form such as "Seven Samurai" or "The Grand Illusion" and then there are "just movies": action movies, comedies, sci-fi, recent slew of comic strip/toy movies (least favorite to me) and one badly underrepresented category, which incidentally makes the most money in Hollywood (they did not get the memo though): family movies. Notice I did not call them "films", although to be able to entertain the whole family without blood, gore, sex, violence, war, darkness and such, is quite an achievement today worthy of the name "film".Family movies are meant to entertain the whole family but in an entirely positive, relaxed and children safe way. This film achieved all of those, while many family favorites, we have to admit, do have scenes that make us cringe and are not really appropriate for children (E.g. Indiana Jones series).Within that domain of family entertainment, "Yours, Mine and Ours" is one fine movie. Making a film with 20 kids is bordering with madness - the old adage of Hollywood is "No animals, no children." Making it funny and interesting to watch without resorting to cheap thrills of fast car rides, sex scenes/nudity, guns or simply shallow behavior is commendable. They managed to pull it off with no less than 20 children and a few pets to boot. That in itself deserves praise.The film is a romantic comedy wrapped around tons of kids doing their shenanigans, a new house, pets, and so on. Again, if you are aware that this is a family film, and lower your guard, rather then expect 20 kids to earn Oscars, you will enjoy it.Both Rene Russo and Dennis Quaid were excellent, and truly funny. The kids were funny too (and older ones obviously acted better than their younger "siblings" which is to be expected given the age difference).If you have a child, and would like to have a film to watch, than this would be the one. Children laugh through the entire film, and there is still more than enough for adults to enjoy.For being a daring, well executed and thoroughly enjoyable family fun, I give it 10 stars. Let's hope we get to see more of similar movies in the future.

Miss Naughtia This is a great movie for a family nigh in, it has great actors and a funny story. Although I couldn't help thinking that everything was made out to be much more chaotic than it had to be (for instance the paint fight). Otherwise this movie was very entertaining.This movie is about a widow and a widower who have a big flock of children each. When these two meet again at a class reunion they fall in love and decide to get married and this creates a great conflict because the two large families must merge together to become one even larger family.I love Dennis Quaid and this was a great performance from his side.

PWNYCNY Who created this movie and why? These questions are raised by this movie. In an attempt to be funny, the creators of this movie decided to resurrect a Lucille Ball- Henry Fonda movie that in its day was funny but almost thirty years later just doesn't do it. Although ostensibly a comedy, the movie does not inspire any laughs. One winces and cringes as the parents do everything they can to make fools of themselves. The slapstick is unfunny, the children are nasty and the parents are fools, especially the father played by Dennis Quaid. Put a bunch of kids under one roof and the results can be chaotic but not necessarily funny. If this movie contains any message it is this: love without discipline is bad for children. One must wonder who would have thought this movie would sell. Everything about this movie is cheesy. Even by commercial standards this movie is an artistic travesty, an assault on the audience's intelligence and does not even deserve inclusion in DVD land, the place where all flops eventually wind up.

msecour The original version with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball is one of our favorites and I, for one, am glad they didn't try to remake that story with a new cast. This is really a different story built on the same premise: a widow and widower -- each with a lot of children -- fall in love, get married, and the children are suddenly part of a new and much larger family. Unlike the original, the children don't get a chance to see this coming before it happens. The animosity is instantaneous, particularly since the Beardsley children are used to structure and organization in their lives whereas the North children have been very free and loose. The bonding of familial friendships between the children comes through their common purpose -- to destroy the relationship between their parents. There is something very profound about seeing two enemy groups come together for a common goal only to discover that they don't hate each other at all. A lot of the slapstick is over the top, but it is an entertaining 90 minutes with a message that will never grow old. I am glad to have both versions in my library.
