Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Pickwick12 I liked this film. It is not my favorite film, nor do I think it will be anyone else's. I would only recommend it for fans of the show. It is definitely on a more serious note than the sitcom, but who wants to watch two hours of a genre that is usually dead after thirty minutes? In this kind of movie, something more is required. The cast does well, though the plot is very sentimental. But who cares? I watched this film to feel good, and feel good I did. Alan Thicke (Jason Seaver) was my favorite character on the show, and he did not disappoint me. Ben's plot is weird, and I defy anyone to figure it out, but that is the only really serious mistake. This is not the sort of movie I would pay to see, but it makes for nice Saturday afternoon nostalgia. It also seems that the children grew up the way they looked like they would, which is comforting. It may not be Oscar-worthy, but hey, it's better than the "Leave it to Beaver" movie! Watch it when it's on and remember the 80s!

chickflick13 I admit it. I grew up watching Growing Pains, thought Kirk Cameron was THE cutest thing in the world, never missed an episode, and can tell you where I was the night Chrissy Seaver was born. I was a stereotypical Growing Pains lover who wept during the last episode and thought to myself, "Gee, they ought to have a reunion of some sort."So I waited years. None came. Until one day I was watching television and flipped to The Wonderful World of Disney, where they were previewing next week's WWOD: "Next week on the Wonderful World of Disney..." and to my total happiness, it said: "Look who's all grown up: The Growing Pains Movie." Let me tell you, as an all grown up "kid" who still thinks of Kirk Cameron as the cute one he was back in 1985, I must have gone a little crazy.And the reunion movie? I'll get to that in a second... it was great! Other than the magically 17 year old Chrissy (only giving it a reason to air in 2005, too!), I must say it was a great reunion movie. It showed me my smile again!

tennisfan446 This was a great reunion movie! As a big fan of the 80's TV Series, I really enjoyed the movie because it made it seem like no time had passed! I really enjoyed the plot, and I thought the acting was very good by Joanna Kerns, Tracey Gold, Kirk Cameron, and Jeremy Miller! The characters were much like I thought they would be! The movie did leave a lot of unanswered questions at the end which I hope means that there will be another reunion movie in the very near future! I want to know if Maggie won the election and how Carol's marriage goes! I found myself laughing quite a bit throughout the entire movie! I really enjoyed seeing the Seaver family altogether again! The Growing Pains Movie made me show my smile again! The movie was excellent overall! I wish the theme song could have been played at the beginning! Overall though I found this movie to be extremely worth the time! If you liked the TV series, you will love the movie! I loved seeing the Seavers all grown up! Growing Pains will always be #1 in my book! 10 stars for a super movie and the best family TV sitcom of all time in my opinion! Super fun for people of all ages!!!!!

Monika-5 Growing Pains was one of the many shows I watched as a young kid growing up in the 1980s. I love reunion movies but I didn't have much expectation for this one. I'm sorry I didn't tape it because I really enjoyed it! The political storyline may turn some viewers off, and the story is pretty farfetched overall, but that's pretty much the norm in any TV reunion movie. It was great to see Mike and Carol at each other's throats and to see Ben as a slacker dude (which we all knew he'd turn out to be). A lot of fun!
