5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL FAMILY MOVIE, July 18, 2007

By 

Linlou - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unexpected Family [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is for the entire family. The actors all work so well together and even the children show a flare for acting. You won't find vulgar language, nude scenes or blood and guts in this one! What you will find is a plot that is well written and a movie that is a pure pleasure to watch. It is a heart warming film about two sisters who haven't gotten along in the past and now one decides she wants to try the "single" life. Stockard Channing is spectacular, as always, as the sister who is tricked into caring for her niece and nephew for one night. Or so she thought.....

Unfortunately this is yet another movie that has not come to DVD yet. But then how many really good ones do these days? If you get a chance to see it, you won't regret the time you spent sitting in front of the TV. The sequel to this movie is "An Unexpected Life" and just as memorable as this one is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stockard Channing at her absolute best, July 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Unexpected Family [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of the best movies I have seen. The sad part of the movie is that this happens in real life all to often. This is a great family movie free of violence. Very enjoyable wholesome movie.
