Can I be the ONLY person to see this? Haven't we learned yet that there is no such thing as a "value-free" education? This product of the post hippy-flower-child 60's crap-a-thon (that I lived through) is a perfect example of that impossible goal. It is simply the replacement of one set of values and judgements with another.Tradition, gender roles honored and functioning for thousands of years are now to be mocked and abandoned. We are not just to tolerate differences but to celebrate them, even the deviant and previously anti-social ones. "It's all cool!" we shouted. "You gotta do your own thang!" we cried. Until we found out that we were lonely, lost, and needed money. Then, suddenly we realized how wise previous generations were.Please spare your child this vapid tripe of political correctness. They'll learn more and better values by watching old Frank Capra films or any of the old Warner Cartoons.

I'm a sixteen year old who loves this movie. My parents bought it when i was little and i still am an avid watcher. Like someone said earlier, this is a good movie to watch when it's rainy out. My copy is still in great shape since i want it to last for my kids.

I remember seeing Free To Be... several times as a child. It was the kind of movie they would play when it was too rainy to go outside for recess. Unfortunately, the last time I saw it was around 1982, but it made an indelible and everlasting impression. Even my little brother (born a couple of years after the movie was made) remembers the sketches and songs, and we still make reference to them with fondness.I wish they made more movies of this caliber for children today. If anyone has a suggestion as to how to find a copy - I see that Amazon does not carry it - I would be forever grateful.

I have not seen this movie since preschool, but I've remembered it vividly for years! It was not only humorous, but full of lessons on being yourself. Let me just say that Marlo Thomas was years ahead of her time, but I'm glad she had the foresight to create this. As soon as I find a copy, it's mine!
