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!

I love the Growing Pains Reunion Movie...I was also a big fan of the show growing up...it was great...I loved that Carol finally got her moment to shine...it was great to see her healthy and finally happy...Most of the people that did not like the movie didn't like the show...so why did you watch it???? I thought it was a great conclusion to the show...hey and maybe a sequel to it would not be a bad idea after all....

If you liked the series Growing Pains you will enjoy this movie. You will be surprised to see how Chrissy turned out, if you didn't like or didn't watch the series then don't bother watching this movie. If you did like this series then this movie will be worth 2 hours of your time.

When I saw the preview for this movie, I thought it would just be another reunion movie from an 80's television show. But when I saw this movie, I was greatly surprised. It was a great reunion of the Seaver Family. All of the original cast were great in their roles, and the plot in which Maggie runs for Congress was great. This was a great movie.
