Entertaining---great recreation of the 1950s, 25 November 2002
7/10
Author: cherylread from Santa Monica, California

The film was entertaining and touching, but what I liked most about it was its faithful recreation of the 1950s. Having grown up in that period, I don't think I've ever seen such a faithful recreation of that era on screen. I kept looking at the screen and sayin, "Oh my God, I remember that."
