Review of Yours, Mine and Ours (1968) by Anthony B — 07 Dec 2016
The movie starts off by showing the lives of two families. One is a straight cut family from a Coast Guard father named Frank. He has Eight Children. There are strict rules in this house that keep the family in line.
Next it shows Helen and her Ten child family. She is a single mother who has six adopted children. Her family seems to have more love involved rather than rules. Helen and Frank get married almost immediately after they meet.
They used to be high school sweet hearts. There will be eighteen children and two parents living in a light house together. This step family cannot stand each other. They want nothing to do with any of them and just want to be away from each other.
Frank and Helen each have two different parenting styles, this makes them butt heads constantly when it comes to disciplining children. For instance, Franks thinks it is okay to spank the children, however, Helen thinks people need to talk.
The children make a plan to break apart Frank and Helen. When this plan works and the couple decide to split up, the children realize how much they actually care about each other in the end. The movie was funny at times, but it was all predictable and dry in most parts of the movie.
