I like this movie because it offers hope. It is a good family film, and promotes healthy family life and values. We all have choices we make in our daily lives. We all want things we don't need and probably shouldn't have. This movie explains the differences between wants and needs and the cost versus the value of how our time is spent.
I'm partial to this movie because I use it for a reference point when I am trying to think of what I really want out of life. Most films these days are made expressly for the purpose of making a profit, and so they cater to public tastes whether they are moral or not. This is a non-profit movie with good morals and good advice. That makes it priceless.
