OMG! They're doing a remake of Yours, Mine & Ours! Anyone seen the

[joeybee12]

original? Came out in the 60's--had Lucy and Henry Fonda. She had 8 kids, he had 10. Lucy was probably pushing 50 and they had her get preganant. Not great, but interesting to see two legends together.

Anyway, there's a picture of the new one on the Valu-pak that came in th mail. Dennis Quaid is the guy--can't figure out who has the Lucy role. They're not being true to the real story (upon which the Lucy-Henry movie was based--the kids were all biologically theirs) because I see at least 4 African-American kids, two little Asian girls and maybe two Latino kids. Obviously trying to broaden the appeal to a larger movie-going audience.

Anyway, I think I'll skip this.

1. Renee Russo has the Lucy role, I believe

but I think I'll skip it, too

[joeybee12]

2. Hmm...the photo doesn't look like Renee...but that would make sense

as the woman would have to be close to 40 since a couple of the kids are in their late teens.

3. I loved that movie!!!

One of my all time faves.

[joeybee12]

5. I watched it again a few weeks ago...I know I saw it when I was much

younger. Lucy really is the best thing about it..Henry just couldn't be funny in it.

7. I love that scene where his sons get her loaded.

She was a hoot.

and I loved the overall nice-ness of the movie. Very sweet.

[joeybee12]

8. That's true--they don't make sweet anymore. Yeah, the drunk scene

was classic Lucy.

After Lucy died, the actress--Morgan Brittany--who played one of the girls was talking about that scene and every time they had to do a take, Lucy was spot on--could pick right back up once the cameras started rolling again.

11. That was Morgan Brittany before she changed her name.

Her name was Suzanne Cupito back then.

[joeybee12]

12. Yeah, I knew she was in it, and when I re-watched it she wasn't

credited, so I knew it was a name change. Think she was the second eldest daughter--the oldest daughter sort of looked like her, too.

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. Yes. The trailer aired before the Wallace and Gromit movie.

The well is completely dry.

[joeybee12]

6. The well went dry 20 years ago...now they're scraping the mud from

the bottom of the well.

9. Have I seen the original? I own the original!

I *love* that movie, and I have ever since I saw it as a kid.

I will not bother with the remake.

[Midlodemocrat]

10. LOL. Me, too.

Bought the DVD at Winn Dixie two years ago and felt like I had found the Ark of the Covenant. I love that movie.


And, I will probably go see the remake as well. Seems like harmless entertainment for my 9yo.
