It's like "Auntie Mame" (1958), if Mame were a straightlaced business woman instead of a partier. It's like Mame with less comedy and more schmaltz.
F "Auntie Mame" were a black and white film, in which Mame was required to find a husband and be a career woman before Patrick could come live with her, this would be it. And I love "Auntie Mame", so naturally I like this.
Best part: the Alaska synchronicity, which shows destiny is always at work in our lives, even when we think it's just us.
Worst part: that weird kiss thing the kid does! Just a simple peck on the check would have sufficed- little guy!
Overall though, good movie!
