Sweet, fun, entertaining!
29 July 2000 | by (Los Angeles, California) – See all my reviews

This movie is sweet, fun, entertaining for the whole family. For those who appreciate the more innocent days that are no longer. (The boxing match scene is a bit overdone though.) Roddy and Suzanne are cute together. Can't understand why this is not available on VHS!
