Simply Perfect

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Simply put, the movie was a disappointment. The book is a good, old-fashioned classic. The series is far too modern and uses the book as an entertainment object and a diversion from grief. The episodes were rather emotional and sad. The grandmother was a wild woman and there were multiple innuendos that were not appropriate for the TV-Y7 rating. I will not be showing this to my pre-teen boys. While the story line was ok, I do not feel that it did justice to the classic nature of the book.

It's always a challenge finding something that our whole family can sit down and watch together. This show definitely fits the bill. The show is fun, while dealing with some heavier issues at times. But mostly, it's just a funny, enjoyable show with great actors executing great writing.As a viewer, I especially like the way the show deals with some of the struggles that younger kids face. Does it make a profound impact? No. But that's not the point. It's a light-headed look at being a family, dealing with loss and navigating the waters of life.I would love to see this show come back for a second season. And my kids would too. This is good quality, family entertainment at its best. We need more shows like this for younger kids.

All of our three boys age 13,12,10 loved this series .. they want to read the books! Teaches good moral Values and life lessons... wholesome but funny at the same time and Witty! Deals with death and learning To overcome and accept the death of a loved one in a very sweet day

Fun storyline and great sets and nice special effects. Acting is pretty good for the kids.
