DVD Reviews of Yours, Mine & Ours (Full Screen Edition)DVD Review: Fun and a bit thought-provoking Summary: 3 StarsHere's a remake of the 1968 version that I've never seen. But in today's world where it's hard to choose something family-appropriate without being silly, Yours, Mine, and Ours really is for all of us. The plot is a pretty simple Brady Bunch mixed family, with some Dharma & Greg seasoning. If you want real thought, and beauty, go watch The Sound of Music. But if you want to get out of the video store with a DVD you can enjoy, and your young teen still talking to you, go for this friendly family love story. Free extra: in among the 16 kids are 2/3 of the stars of Drake & Josh.
DVD Review: Good movie Summary: 4 StarsI saw the original version of this film many years ago and I actually have that version of the film as well. I didn't enjoy the remake as well, but then again, how can you beat Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball? This version of the film was well done by Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo. It's definitely worth a watch. I have watched several times.
DVD Review: Where do I start? Summary: 2 Stars Ok, I admit I really got this because I'm a big fan of Dennis Quaid and Sean Faris. That said, I can also honestly say that I'm glad I didn't go to the theaters for this because I would have demanded my money back. This film tries too hard for the cute factor and gets corny and cheesy in places where it should be heartfelt. I don't buy for a moment that the kids bonded in such a quick way that felt forced. I thought the racially mixed North kids were an interesting aspect but I'm sorry to say that was the only thing really interesting about the whole picture. I believe had they stayed with the original storyline of the 1968(?) film it would have been a much more entertaining film. On the plus side, the camera seems to love Faris (who wouldn't?) and it's nice to see he gets a lot of screen time. This doesn't compare to the original; Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda are priceless and keep the film going unlike Russo and Quaid. So sad.
DVD Review: very cute family movie Summary: 4 StarsI don't understand why so many people don't like this movie. Yes, it is predictable, but it's still cute. It was so funny as well as touching and cute (I actually cried). It has a great cast with the cutest little kids. That makes it enjoyable on it's own. But add the storyline and you have a very cute, funny family movie.
DVD Review: Nowhere Near the Original Summary: 2 StarsMaybe this movie would have been better had I not seen the original. This one lost so much trying for slapstick comedy instead of family feelings. Little attention was given to the parents falling in love and the bond that they shared. All of a sudden they were married (without telling their kids?) and the rest of the movie was aimed towards ridiculous antics with the children. I kept wondering when the Children's Welfare people were going to come in and take the children. Perhaps leaving them with the drunk babysitter was supposed to be funny, but it was downright scary.
Stick with the original on this movie!
Description of Yours, Mine & Ours (Full Screen Edition)When Frank Beardsley (Dennis Quaid), a widower of 8 children runs into his high school sweetheart, Helen North (Rene Russo), it's as if thirty years never passed! Helen, also a widow with ten kids of her own that include the six she and her husband adopted, feels the attraction as well. It's no wonder they rush into marriage without telling their kids. True love can conquer all-right? Unfortunately for Frank and Helen, the families don't mesh quite as easily as the newlyweds had hoped. They probably should have seen the culture clash coming: the disciplined Beardsleys run things by the book; for the energetic and vivacious Norths, there is no book. Helen's kids aren't pleased about moving and sharing rooms with a bunch of uptight strangers. Frank's children have nothing in common with the Norths. Since both sets of kids aren't happy, they devise a plan to undermine the marriage and team up to plot the breakup. East meets west as the two families finds a way to work together-in order to separate. Just when it appears that the kids have succeeded, they realize they like each other despite their differences-they don't want their families to split up! Can they save Frank and Helen's marriage after they so brilliantly split them up? It's up to Frank and Helen! Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo, the sexiest adults in Hollywood, anchor Yours, Mine and Ours, an enjoyably traditional family film. Frank Beardsley (Quaid, In Good Company, The Rookie), a Coast Guard admiral, runs his brood of eight kids like a military squad; Helen North (Russo, Tin Cup, Get Shorty), a designer, keeps her multicultural family of ten together with a more free and creative hand. The two run into each other and rekindle their high school romance, getting married before the kids even have a chance to meet. The two families naturally experience a bit of culture clash. After squabbles, disputes, and outright fights, the kids agree on one thing: They have to split up Frank and Helen so they can return to their old lives. Yours, Mine and Ours doesn't hold any surprises, but after a rushed beginning, the movie settles into a series of brisk, cheerful skirmishes among the kids and some truly sweet interludes between Quaid and Russo, who handle their mature romance with graceful, seasoned aplomb. This straightforward movie cruises by on energy and enthusiasm, and sometimes, that's enough for a good time. --Bret Fetzer
