My 22-year-old daughter was actually upset by the news when she heard it last night - one of Marshall's other films, Runaway Bride, was her favorite film when she was growing up. (I think we must've seen it a half-dozen times in theaters, and I can't even count how many times we watched it on home video.) She told me on the phone last night that when I get home from Portland next month, we need to watch it one more time.
Which sounds good to me. I'll make the popcorn.
