Family film nosedives .......2007-09-16

Rod Steiger's performance here is sweet, realistic, and endearing as his relationship with his granddaughter Biddy and grandson. What is disappointing is the "family secret" that spoils what would be wholesome family entertainment..it's not really a very well developed story line nor is it entirely plausible when it unfolds. There really is no explanation for what happened..don't want to give away plot..just a caution that younger viewers may not understand and even teens may come away with confused morals because even though the "family secret" involves immorality the film doesn't really treat it that way..the film concludes that all is well in the end as long as family endures. Sally Struthers gives a short but memorable performance..Dee Wallace Stone is not used to her full acting potential.
