Charming movie with more than capable leads (Jennie Garth and Ethan Erickson), as well as secondary characters (Marilu Henner and Fred Willard, plus the little boy on the Mulligan TV show and his stage mother and especially the hero's red-headed, no-talent roommate), but a few things that worked against it.

The very first scene features the heroine's young daughter wearing expensive-looking sunglasses, and the mother asks where they came from. The child is about 6; it's not like she went out and bought them herself. Not believable. Also, this same woman is a struggling single mother (her husband died without life insurance) who works as a waitress at a rather tacky restaurant and drives what looks like a 35-year-old AMC compact station wagon, but can nonetheless afford to live in a lovely house with an in-ground pool in the backyard in expensive Los Angeles (I felt the only purpose of this was to have a fight scene where two characters fall in).

This movie is too well written to rely upon contrived situations. Still, it's one of my favorites.

Another reviewer says that the leads start out as annoying, but stick with it. Oh boy, the annoying part is very true. It's not just the leads. Almost everyone is obnoxious and it's obviously intended to be funny. Not just obnoxious, but mean obnoxious. I didn't find any of that funny. Not to say that there weren't a few funny moments. Unfortunately the obnoxious lasts for nearly half the movie.

Then suddenly, the leads, at least, get nice. Then it turns into a love story which quickly develops a conflict.

There's also a family crisis angle which revolves around cute little Taylor and a predictable climax. I'd say it's a toss up whether it was worth sticking.

This is mostly a family movie with appeal to children. There are some interesting camera angles though.

Great line: "It's like a Superman, Clark Kent thing.... Except you're a bunny."
