Be there for the joy. Be there for the tears. Be there for each other.
This is one of my favorite movies starring two of my favorite female lead actresses. I rushed out Christmas day in 1998 to see this film and never regretted it. It makes me laugh and cry every time I see it.
This film is so relevent to today's families showing that children and parents don't have to choose sides and that all members can have an enriched involvement. It uses humor to show the viewer the importance of family and getting along.

It does tug at the heart strings but it's an good character study of divided families. Life is not always peaches and cream but it isn't always curdled milk either.

Who would win in a fight?
If I Needed You...
After getting injured at the park Ben ends up in the hospital. While Jackie is talking to the doctors Isabel tries to comfort him. He asks her to sing him a song. Here are the lyrics:If I needed you,
Would you come to me?
Would you come to me
and ease my pain?
If you needed me,
I would come to you,
I would swim the seas
For to ease your pain.
In the night forlorn,
Ah, the morning's born,
And the morning shines
With the lights of love,
You will miss sunrise,
If you close your eyes,
That would break
My heart in two.
Lady's with me now,
Since I showed her how
To lay her lily hand in mine,
Loop and Lil agree,
She's a sight to see,
And a treasure for
the poor to find.
If I needed you,
Would you come to me?
Would you come to me
and ease my pain?
If you needed me,
I would come to you,
I would swim the seas
For to ease your pain.
