The kids were glued to the screen (mine is 8) with it and it definitely got some laughs. It was a movie that made you laugh and taught some lessons about life. I would recommend this movie.
If you are a fan of the series...Nothing short of fantastic. It's definitely a "chick flick", but truthfully, I laughed harder than I have laughed in a long time and cried as well. Makes me miss the series dreadfully! Hope they all come back for another movie or start up the series again.
