Men, you will not like the same films that we girls do. Accept that before you accept my critique of Summer Magic.
I have always loved this movie. I love the innocence of the Carey family. I love the stinging rivalry between our heroine, Nancy, and her uppity cousin. I love how different it is from our own time- "be demure, sweet and pure, hide the real you!" Oh yeah, and Hayley Mills is my hero! I watched everything I could of hers, even Pollyanna!
Summer Magic was an old movie when I first saw it, in the 80s. Technology changes, as do the public's taste in films. No amount of pyrotechnics or weapon-play could save Summer Magic for the typical male of today. It's a movie about relationships, familial love, and unquenchable optimism.
I expect no complaints from the gentlemen who disregard my caveats!
