So watch it! There's a few songs, but not many in that one, I don't think. And the only one I can think off he bat you can easily skip and you won't miss anything. Seriously, the story isn't bad, and I think you'll have a few laughs. It's not really what I'd consider a musical at all. Maybe give Bright Eyes a try. Heidi is kind of Christmas-y. I think I actually read somewhere that that was an editing mistake. They had another song in mind and for some reason the ZZ Top song was accidentally used instead. And, no, I can't remember what song was really intended for that scene. Old, old post, but I'm watching this now and one of the best moments for me is when Nealy is complaining and asking why Francie is late, and she presents the pie. It's a crappy little pie. Francie could've eaten the whole thing and he'd be none the wiser, but she saves it so they can share it and he's a typical abrasive little brother, but she looks down at it to show him her "treasure" and they share a quick look before he continues being an annoying little brother. Then he says, "but let's eat the pie" grabs a huge hunk, and rather than taking a bite out of it like one expects, he hands it to Francie before taking his piece. True sibling camaraderie. The amount was supposed to be for a down payment, though, wasn't it? A down payment isn't the full amount... Yeah, now that you mention it, I guess I kind of do remember the grocery store having sales on certain candy bars once in awhile that were 3/$1. That was pretty sweet. I kind of enjoyed it, but I was filing paperwork while watching it. But yeah, their Christian "joke" at the Christmas store kind of soured it for me. I get not all people celebrate Christmas for Christian reasons, and with Eddie being in it didn't expect it to be G-rated or anything, but thought it was pretty crummy they threw that in. I'm about Macauley's age, but couldn't remember offhand what candy cost was when I was kid, so I just threw out what I thought was a "cheapie" amount View all replies >
