Sweet family movie; better than the original
28 December 2007
Though no one would accuse this movie of being intellectually challenging, it is fun to watch and has some really funny scenes. The little girl who plays Mary was a great child actress -- I found her to be both adorable and convincing. The interactions between Sylvia, the three men, and the pompous English director she dates are amusing, if rather sitcom-ish.

The English stereotypes are nothing new, and I used to live in England, but I was still amused. Probably because they were done in such a goofy, light-hearted spirit. Fiona Shaw is hysterical, too, as the headmistress of a girl's school who develops an excruciating crush on Tom Selleck's character.

Definitely worth watching, and safe for little kids.
