As excited as I was about the making of this movie, I also had reservations. I was afraid that the movie would not be faithful to the personalities of the characters that I loved. I went to the first showing at 11am on opening day...and I was very pleased! So much, so that when a friend invited me to join her to see the movie that very evening, I said yes! Good family film, that keeps you laughing the entire time! Can't wait for it to be out on DVD!!
