Cute film! (spoilers)

So many things about this film amused me from one scene to the next, like Alan Arkin's facial expressions, mannerisms, comical things he said...and much of the cast was star-studded: Carol Burnett, Danny Glover, Jack Warden, Danny Aiello, Ruth Buzzi, Adam Arkin. It was as if Alan was winking at the audience where his son's character, Charlie, was concerned. I could almost hear Alan saying "Yeah, this is my son, I'm bringing him along with me in any scene I can." I loved that and it's always fun seeing the two of them work together.

This film is about what you'd expect from that particular era. While it's no Arthur (1981), 'Chu Chu' doesn't really fall all that far behind it in quality and humor. Arthur has the benefit of being a story involving insanely wealthy people and a fantastically hilarious drunk. 'Chu Chu' has more to do with ordinary people who are down on their luck and trying to make a buck. I was hoping they'd be offered millions of dollars at the end like in Arthur, but you can't have everything.

People eat cotton candy. This is
better...it's made out of real cotton.
