About
You may enjoy this if you like old-fashioned comedy-drama with a soft heart, Depression-era atmosphere, and grumpy-meets-sweet humor; Not for you if you want sharp suspense or a fresher story than The Money Pit or Plaza Suite.
Pros: warm heart; charming lead dynamic; family-friendly fun | Cons: familiar story; uneven charm; unnecessary remake
