When this movie came out I was 12. I saw it twice in the theater, which considering I go to maybe one movie a year, is remarkable. I've watched in many times since. The only thing that seems dated now is the opening with Fred Savage as a little boy and ....Columbo...real name escaping me...as his grandpa. The quotes are memorable, the love story is sweet, the secondary characters are just as noteworthy as the leads. A great family film.

P.S. Read the book too!
