This is a cute little movie with a dog that stole the picture from the rest of the cast. The little girl Opal was as cute as a button and it was good to see Eve Marie Saint and Cecelie Tyson once more although both of them are deserving of bigger and better parts. Time has not been kind to either of them as the have gotten very old. This is the story of a preacher whose wife left him and his young daughter and the trial and tribulations they face in a small town in Florida. The story was a cute one, but I would say this film is for the very young people in the audience. This one can wait for the DVD so the kids can watch it over and over, as it is a kids movie.
