Highly Overrated But Still Good

A lot of fun.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

"With Six You Get Eggroll" is a light comedy-romance with a very familiar theme by its date. Widow and widower with kids still at home meet, fall in love and decide to tie the knot again, only to be challenged by their respective offspring. But, Doris Day and Brian Keith carry it off fine, with the help of her three sons and his daughter. Doris plays Abby McClure and Brian plays Jake Iverson. The cast are all good, and there are some very funny scenes especially in the beginning, when Abby and Jake meet up for the first time at a party she throws. This was Doris Day's last movie. She made only 42 films in her entire career and retired from the screen and TV early. Except for her last few films, arranged by hubby Martin Melcher to bail out the estate he had poorly managed for years, Doris Day's star shone bright for movie and TV audiences alike for 25 years. Many, many fans and movie buffs would have loved to see Day in more films. After Melcher died in 1968, Doris hit it big with her own TV series, The Doris Day Show. It ran for five seasons, and after her last episode on March 12, 1973, she ended her performing career for good. She was just 50 years old. Probably no other actress with such a bleak background and problem- filled personal life has done more to lift peoples' spirits by her talents. Doris Day was indeed a bright spot in the entertainment world. She was equally adept at dramatic and mystery roles, but her endearing talents shone best in her musicals and comedy-romances. She was one of a rare breed of screen, stage and TV stars who could act, sing, and dance and who excelled at comedy. She never won an Oscar but was nominated nine years for Golden Globes as the favorite female film star in the world – winning three times, in 1958, 1960, and 1963.Brian Keith's background is very different. Except for a few uncredited parts in movies since childhood, his acting career didn't get started until the early 1950s when he appeared in several TV series. His first male lead came in a 1956 movie, "Storm Center," with Bette Davis. After that, he had many roles in films, TV movies and TV shows, and continued acting until his death in 1997 at age 75. He was in more than 160 films and TV shows. "With Six You Get Eggroll" is a simple, light comedy-romance that most should enjoy. It's a good family film that may be a little slow for kids of the 21st century.

They're cheaper by the dozen, but eight is enough. On the other hand, if you are discussing yours, mine and ours, remember that "With Six You Get Eggroll." There are plenty of films and television shows about blended families (e.g. "The Brady Bunch"), but this is not one of the better ones. It is filled with clichés and caricatures and crashes. I like Howard Morris as an actor. Here, as director, he is charged with filling the screen with mayhem. I think "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" changed the landscape of comedy and, in the later stages of this film, it pays its stylistic homage. But this film is really a hybrid of the Day/Hudson pillow talkies, any Irma Bombeck story, and Laugh-In. Doris Day and her three boys have to share a home with Brian Keith and his daughter. This is a sure recipe for classic comedy, right? Well, maybe not. The jokes are forced and the action is predictable.Although this is not a very good film, it is a decent guilty pleasure. And if you like spotting known actors in minor roles, you will probably enjoy seeing Corporal Klinger and Eddie Haskell (among others) on screen.

This is a movie that I always avoided watching in the past. I watched it last night and I really liked it. Doris Day is Abby, a divorcée with three sons. Two of them are little rambunctious hellions but funny. The oldest son has just graduated. Brian Keith plays Jake a divorced parent with a daughter (Barbara Hershy in her first movie role) who has also just graduated. There is immediate resentment by the two oldest kids and it gets pretty funny. George Carlin appears as the waiter at the drive in. When they mentioned drive in back then it meant a place to eat not see movies. You can see from Carlin's portrayal that he has already developed his edgy voice and mannerisms. There is chaos when the two families are joined in wedlock. Neither house is big enough for the new family. They decide to sell both homes and buy a bigger place. Every thing comes out well (it usually did in a Doris Day film) When they all end up at a police station and end up defending each other as family. I liked it and while some of the stuff especially the ending, may seem contrived, relax, it is a typical Hollywood rom-com for the time period. Overall an entertaining and funny movie.

When wisecracking Pat Carroll quips that she doesn't understand why the parents are never the ones who run away, she probably gave a lot of mommies and daddies a good idea. You see, her pal (construction company boss Doris Day) has just eloped with Brian Keith, and the four kids in the mix have mixed ideas, particularly Day's oldest son and Keith's daughter. Sexual tension is sure to develop between these two 18 year olds, but the two youngest rambunctious pre-pubescents are cool with their new daddy.Sound like "The Brady Bunch", "The Partridge Family" and "Yours, Mine, and Ours" with a touch of "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" thrown in? Yes, it's sitcom-ish, but fun. Day goes off on stepdaughter Barbara Hershey like you've never seen her go off before, showing some huevos as she hands over the lady of the house duties to the spoiled teen not used to sharing daddy with another woman, let alone one he's sleeping with. She's also slightly bitchy, giving it to the flirtatious neighbor of Keith's who openly flirts with him, saying she was just taking a walk. "Nice night for street walking", Day tells her, to which I spit out my soda, not expecting something like that from the all-American good girl.Heading out of motion pictures into TV, Day was in a transitional stage of her life, but retains her likability that kept her as queen of the Box Office for 15 years. Keith suits Day as a screen partner, then involved in his own sitcom ("Family Affair"), and well remembered as a dad with two perplexing teenagers in "The Parent Trap". As the newlywed couple face crisis after crisis (switching between each of their houses to suit the four kids not ready for total change), the film is realistic in its identification with the structures of 60's families. Alice Ghostley, Jamie Farr and the family dog (who is first seen eating Day's wig, certain it is a possum) offer amusing scenes. The comedy bits are prevented from too much silliness, and are not very far fetched. It is guaranteed to leave you with a smile. After disasters like "Caprice" and "Where Were You Where the Lights Went Out?", Day could be happy that her film career concluded on a nice note.
