With Six You Get Eggroll

Alice Ghostley, Allan Melvin, Barbara Hershey

After her long and wholesome run as America's Sweetheart, Doris Day quit movies with this well-scrubbed picture. With Six You Get Eggroll--oof, what a title--caught the wave of blended-family c...( read more  read more... )omedies, coming just after Yours, Mine and Ours and just before TV's The Brady Bunch. Doris has three sons, and new beau Brian Keith has an 18-year-old daughter (the still-baby-faced Barbara Hershey). It's family-friendly sitcom stuff, with both Day and Keith doing their comfortable, patented thing; when the two of them are onscreen together it's like watching a couple of old sweaters mate. This one is straight formula for fans only, although connoisseurs of camp will enjoy the whiff of Aquarius in the otherwise square proceedings (it was 1968, after all) when Doris goes to a nightclub where the Grass Roots are playing. There's also a hippie gang (featuring Jamie Farr and William Christopher, before M*A*S*H) with ponchos and love beads. The times they were a-changin', and kudos to Day for bowing out gracefully. --Robert Horton

    You'd think that we would have had enough of stories like this already. I mean, we've got the brady bunch! This movie isn't anything special, it's a mediocre retelling of the first episode of the brady bunch with some bad gags. It's not worth watching.

    Doris Day's last film to date sees her playing the usual independent woman with bucket loads of charm. Here playing a single mother who marries a single man (played by Brian Keith), she breezes through a series of sometimes stupid set pieces. It's what you'd expect from this kind... ...( read more )
