3rd (and final) in the series
Contrary to popular belief, this is not a new movie. Not at all. This is actually Disney's very first direct-to-video live action films, which was first released in 1997. It did not go over well and has long since been the hardest to find of the trio. Unlike the other two theatrical films, this movie was only ever released in full frame... so us widescreen enthusiasts have nothing to complain about here. What I can complain about is the overall cheap-feeling that this film has. Rick Moranis is the only original character, and the action does not have the epic, theatrical quality of the original films. This feels like a 2-day shoot soundstage production with a very closed-in feeling. It's kind of like taking the first five minutes of "Toy Story," with the army men on the staircase, etc. and extending that claustrophobic feeling for the 65-minute running time. All in all, this most compares to a typical Disney Channel Original Movie. In fact, it's been shown as one ever since its release!! Not exactly a Disney highpoint, collectors will want this third film to complete the collection... ... Read more

great movie
hey this is a pretty good movie i recorded this from the disney channel in about 1998 trust me dawg if i liked it yawl will like it

Pretty Good
This movie is definitely a good kid's movie. The kids learn how to manipulate their parents to get everything they want, including getting rid of their evil big brother, Tyler. The characters are pretty well played, especially the part of the big brother, James Marsden, as Tyler. I remember I used to cringe, because he's almost too believable. He plays the evil part really well. If you're under thirteen, this movie is a very good way to fill the afternoon.

Kids love it on D-Channel -- hard to find as rental...
The Cochran kids have figured out how to control their parents -- even get them to send evil older brother to boarding school. Nice fantasy. ... Read more

Wonderful Holiday Movie
Dolly Parton plays Ruby Diamond in this touching Christmas story. Ruby meets an untimely death, and before entering heaven wants to become an angel. She is sent back to earth on a mission, and if she succeeds she will get her wings. She has to complete a mission before midnight on Christmas Eve. Ruby is now a nanny for a dysfunctional family who is trying to cope after the death of the mother in the family. The family is disconnected, the father a workaholic and the two children feeling distanced. Ruby helps the family realize they need each other, and need to stick together. Overall it is a wonderful holiday movie that will warm your heart. Dolly sings some wonderful songs too. Overall a well written movie, and Dolly is excellent in it. Add this one to your collection, it will brighten any Christmas.

unlikely good movie
i wasn't expecting much when i bought this movie. i love dolly parton, so i bought it. it really makes me happy. i miss 80's christmas movies of the week, like that one where patty duke has given her son up for adoption to some rich people and then he runs away and spends christmas with her and her family in some rural all-american town. that was a good one! this one is even better! it has all the ingredients for a made-for-tv holiday classic - whiny children who can't act, roddy mcdowell as some spiritual bigwig, dolly's bigwigs, dolly's big, christmas decorations that fart, dolly parton in lingerie, dolly parton singing, children who shop-lift, and much much more. totally superb and very heartwarming.

Good
"Fun for the whole family" really means it's only appropriate for 10 or 12-year-olds. While that also applies to this movie, it can be sappy and few times I'm embarrassed to be watching it (as a guy in my 20s), but it actually IS pretty good and I would probably buy it on DVD but it isn't worth paying over $20 for. Maybe I would buy it around Christmastime.

The best christmas movie ever!
The only movie i watch every christmas, it's become tradition. Have to have, and you should 2.
