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

    My mom took me to see this when I was 9 years old. It was great back then! Don't know how today's generation would like it.

  • April 22, 2008
    Doris' last film, not one of her best but pleasant enough and not a terrible way to finish up.
  • April 16, 2008
    So disgustingly cute you'd gouge your own eyeballs out with a rusty spoon if you weren't on prozac.
  • March 28, 2008
    A barrel of laughs, thoughout. Flower children, court house, with children who are added blessings.
