Why would you hold a grudge against a baby for 6 months??


I love this movie...it was so cute..better than the new one!

the only thing that bugged me is that Stanley was holding a grudge against an infant!!! He had 3 kids himself...he didnt' give the baby a chance!

Also Kay said she was going to be gone for only 2 days...and she had to basically empty out her nursery? Oh well....still an adorable movie!! LOL!!

Yeah, I noticed how Kay had brought over a lot of stuff the baby wouldn't need.

Stanley was just sore about becoming a grandfather. He thought all grandfathers were old men. He hadn't fully accepted Kay's marriage. He didn't much care for the Dunstan in-laws, either. When the baby inexplicably cried every time Stanley held him, no wonder he held a grudge. Glad to see he got over it!

My nephew barfed (or regurgitated as my sister called it) on my Supertramp Crime Of The Century T shirt. To this day, I remind him of that episode... that was in 1979!!!!

Why would you watch a comedy and take the premise and plot seriously?
