I mean really, this must be one of the ultimate feelgood pictures ever made. Ultimate family picture, although everyybody with a beating kind heart, will definitely feel good after watching this, because it is such an overwhelming, endearing, heartwarming feelgood experience WITHOUT ever getting cheesy sentimental though, thanks to the many great tongue in cheek jokes that are sparkled across.
The story is about a father (Ray Liotta) with a little girl whose wife suddenly dies. Stricken with grief the little girl wont speak anymore, that is to say untill a nanny (Whoopi Goldberg) comes along, who seems to be able (in her own quirky ways) to rejuvenate all the joy in this sad stricken girl. To see this little girl blossom again with the help of Whoopi is such a joyous experience, I dont know the equal of in other movies.
This director Jessie Nelson truly has got the talent to touch everybodies heart. I know, I know, all this praise must sound cheesy, but believe me I honestly usually dislike those sentimental family movies, but that is the greatest thing about "Corrina, Corrina", it gets to the sweetest places of my heart without any use of cheap sentiments whatsoever. This movie is as joyous and endearing AND simultaneously as true to life and real as one could ever hope for. Perfect heartwarming comedy! What a joy to watch!!! Ideally suited for young and old, black and white, alone or with the entire family.
