    Thoroughly enjoyable!

    What a treat! My wife and I turned this on for something that works have a hallmark feel and got way more than we bargained for. It has a fun message and and great classic cast that carry the younger actors and the movie. The scene and lines that follow the viagra are priceless. Absolutely priceless! Please Check this move out. You will not be disappointed. I promise!
