Yours, Mine and Ours
The children really do walk all over the parents in this movie.
In this cute, quirky family comedy about two single parents, played by
Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo, it seems that mayhem is the order of the day.
The Beardsley Family is the perfect example of suburban America, crisp,
clean, and courteous. The North Family on the other hand is something of
the anti-thesis of any family. Russo’s children, many of them adopted,
run-amok in a house painted something like the Technicolor wallpaper used
in Les Parapluies de Chambourg, and her eccentric parenting is something
of a “spiritual experience”. When Russo and Quaid reignite their past
romance at a high school reunion and merge their two families together
it’s a recipe for disaster. Zany antics ensue when the children try to
break Quaid and Russo up, and just when their plan is working, they find
out what they wanted was what they had all along. With an ending that
everyone can predict, but which everyone will love, this movie proves that
family is fun.
