Overall this movie ended up being lame. The little girl was very good. Dudley Moore was easy to watch, as usual. However, he seemed pinched in a dramatic role. Mary Tyler Moore reminded me again, why she is not a movie star.
And maybe it's just me, but Dudley Moore and Mary Tyler Moore just do not belong together (despite having the common surname).
There were many effective, bittersweet moments. But a good movie needs more than just that. And the plot was really unrealistic. So watch it if it is on TV and you are too tired to change the channel. Otherwise, rent Bedazzled or watch an old MTM rerun.
