Unlike the other reviewer I find this movie to be unbelievably bad. Bad acting all around, bad writing, stilted dialog, and situations totally contrived so Pa Walton can go around saying "I think I have the answer to that" or "I think I know how to solve that". Then he'll point to a tool box or a tree or read a poem and suddenly the issue is completely resolved. Plus, supposedly, all the kids are adults now yet they're still wandering around wondering if they're really meant to be a writer or if they should be a musician or a basketball player or should they work at Ike's store forever. Erin's husband Paul is rather dull and slow-witted when he can't figure out how to resolve their privacy problems and she seems equally passive/aggressive about how to figure it out. Really just a very bad movie all around.
