Did you know

- Quotes
Elizabeth: ...You say the Mommy Market has been here since 1742?
Edward: That's the year it was established. It hasn't always been the way it is now. It used to be called the Parental Exchange, Female Division.
Harry Martin: Is there a Male Division - like, a Daddy Market we can go to?
Edward: You can go there instead. But nobody can go to both. That's always been disastrous.
- Crazy creditsThe closing credits begin with showing Sissy Spacek playing the mom and the three other moms before the credits roll.
Under the guise of a light-hearted kids movie, this is actually a cautionary tale of be careful what you wish for! It's a good movie, and very effective for the emotional impact that it has on me at the very thought of doing what those kids did! I just can't imagine! Well, I can, and that's the problem.
Good movie, but ultimately tragic for a while. Very tragic! This movie gave me the feeling of death, even though nobody really dies in it. Wow, for a movie to be able to do that, that's some kind of powerful film!
