Goodbye to my childhood
The beauty of original Baytwatch was it corney but feel good because it didn't take itself to seriously. The film however tryed to corneyby taking away from the feel good or openly focusing on the corney aspect and trying to make them dramatic. Unfortunely it just didn't work.

Funny and sad
Super. This novel is written with a first person childhood narration. Whilst this is problematic with regards to the authenticity of McCourts memory, you can not criticise him for his portrayal of childhood innocence. The novel is fantastic, great visual images, told from a convincing narrator, covering topics such as religion, poverty, alcoholism, hunger, death and growing up. I just loved it.

Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke (0 more)
One of my childhood favorites that has withstood the test of time. This film captures the magic of childhood and is so much fun to experience. Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke do an incredible job with these characters and are mesmerizing performers. While the film and book are completely different, the movie is a delight and still one of my all-time favorites.

"This book introduced me to my imagination. Its flare for the absurd and nonsensical is perfect for any age. The illustrations are iconic and inspired much of my childhood drawings."

It was a very realistic account of what growing up different was like. It took me back to my childhood in NJ. It is an awesome book about friendship and growing up.
