Doesn't stand up to a re-watch, and in any case, just a little too gross for no particular reason . . .Not all that funny.

Not nearly as funny as I was expecting -- heck I'm not sure I'd even call it a comedy. It's a tad sentimental at times, but the dramatic scenes were surprisingly good. And while I may not have kids, thanks to good writing and a talented cast, it really didn't matter.
