Lot's of Fun!

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2003)

This movie was truly a pleasant surprise. With many Disney movies pushing "social issues" we were afraid that this movie would follow right along in that same pattern.
As the movie started the 'New Age/World' music gave us the impression that we were right, but then it went away never to be revisited. From that point onward, the movie was a relatively fast paced, warm, and enjoyable flick with believable characters that weren't too stereotypical. These well-developed characters made the standard, straightforward plot invisible because of viewer empathy.
We heartily laughed numerous times, felt that the choice of Hawaii as the location was a nice change of pace, and felt good after watching this film. Very recommended.
