This was really cute. George Clooney is super charming and this is probably the most I’ve liked Michelle Pfeiffer. Mae Whitman is also super adorable in this. I didn’t even recognize her at first. Holland Taylor was really funny even though she was only in 2 scenes. Overall it works, but feels not as strong as other films of the same ilk of the time like LIAR LIAR — a parent realizing they need to be less of a workaholic. I read that George Clooney’s character wasn’t in the original script, which I can’t even imagine.
