Plot

[edit]

A family decide to move to Oregon.

Cast

[edit]

Production

[edit]

Benjamin made it just after making his feature film debut as director, My Favorite Year.[1] Although set in Oregon, the film was shot in Vancouver.[2]

Benjamin and Prentiss brought their two children along on location. "That was great and there was just a nice family feeling," Benjamin said. "Paula and I have been married for 22 years. I was in a movie a few years ago called The Last Married Couple in America and now we are - at least we're one of the last in show business, anyway. We're real close and we like to work together. We have not worked together in television since we did the series called 'He and She' in 1970 and we had a great time doing that."[3]

Reception

[edit]

The New York Times said the film had "some very funny bits and pieces. But the overall conception never quite holds together. It is only sporadically as good as it should be."[4]
