    One of my fave kids movies. Jodie and Barbara are hilarious. Imagine swopping a day in the life with your mum! Fave scenes - the switch between driving the car and water skiing. Stars a young Jodie Foster.

I think this movie also proves that Foster owes a lot to her early discipline as a thespian -maybe more than she does owe to her talent. I suppose a kid would not be too happy to work so hard as she did- and unfortunately, she never got rid of that clenched jaw. At least now we know that unlike Lindsay... it's because she's spent so many years in a closet!
