Disneyland: Sunday Drive (1986)
Charming and interesting.
Yes, this family movie is just the perfect sample to confirm what someone else already said: "It just goes to show that a film need not be adult-oriented to be funny". I'd never have thought that anyone else would even remember "Sunday Drive", which is one of my two favorite movies (the other one is Michael Ende's "The NeverEnding Story"). I read some comments made about Sunday Drive on IMDb. An important part of the plot is the fact that since the beginning of the story Paul Sheridan (Ted Wass) is so controlled by his fiancé Susan (Claudia Cron) that he had to stop in order to call her up as she had made him promise he would (remember cell phones didn't exist in 1986). That was the main reason why he stopped at a restaurant where the confusion began and not only to refresh. That stop was supposed to be a very short one since he had to travel a long way to another state and get in time for an appointment Susan had settled for him to begin working for her father. But this short stop changed his whole life as he happened to know Christine and John Elliot, as well as Franny. The story gets into a charming confusion where Christine's romantic imagination and every unexpected situation surely keep us closely involved. The character I most liked was definitely little Christine. I enjoyed so much this movie that I did record it from TV on the "Beta" VCR I used to have in the late 80's. Only trouble is I don't have my Beta VCR anymore and I haven't had the tape released into VHS or DVD either. I better do it before my 2 y.o. granddaughter gets old enough to enjoy this movie. I don't know if it is classified as a classical but in my opinion it should be.
