Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen Jack asks Mitch to get off the bus, Mitch's line "Why should I?" clearly does not match his mouth (he in fact says "go to hell").
- Quotes
Mitch Robbins: Just play it cool.
Travis Robbins: How do you play it cool?
Mitch Robbins: Well... pretend like you're asleep.
- Alternate versionsThe film's video rights were picked up in 1989 by Feature Films for Families, a video distribution company closely associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The video release was heavily re-edited, and an additional framing device was filmed by the distributor in which Peggy's mother, over the phone, recounts the events of the film and provides commentary which often contradicts the film itself. This was likely in an attempt to place the film within the views of the LDS Church. Director Lyman Dayton removed his name from the Feature Films for Families version, credited instead as "F.T. Pavlov".

Featured review
Excellent
This movie is a heart warming movie for all ages. It will make you laugh, make you cry, but it will teach you lessons (great for younger audiences). I wore my copy out years ago, it's one of those timeless movies you will want to watch again and again. These kids show what family means, they give you an incite to an often silent world.
Mitch comes off a mischievous perhaps, but he's just trying to find a solution to his circumstances.
Kate, she reminds me of myself in a lot of ways. Looking out for the younger kids, without realizing it, she transforms into a miniature mother.
The two younger kids, will grab your heart, from the thumb sucking little girl, to the boy attached to his dog.
Peggy will teach you what it means to truly put yourself out there, helping someone with no intention of getting anything back.
Uncle Jack will teach you that in fact, money doesn't make a happy life. He will instill in you values without ever meaning to.
A must watch movie, after watching once, you will pick it back up over the years, and as you grow, you will discover more lessons you hadn't seen before.
I wish I could find this DVD for sale somewhere!
