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.
