I remember loving this film as a kid. Rewatching the film as an adult, the film does not hold up.

Instead, what I got was a movie that's all bark and no bite, desperately trying to balance nostalgia with warmed-over ideas. Are a fabulous wardrobe and a bunch of adorable puppies enough to carry a nearly two-hour movie? Unfortunately, the answer is more complicated-and disappointing-than it seems. If there's one thing keeping this movie from being a total disaster, it's Glenn Close absolutely owning her role. I have to applaud how she completely steal
