Nicholas Gledhill as PS gives one of the finest performances by a child actor images and not one in the mold of the Spielberg cute American kid. Reminiscent of Alexander in Bergman's Funny and Alexander. Gledhill's PS is hardly a postscript. He not only captures the hearts of all the adults but is the most complete character in the story, his enormous gray blue eyes take in everything with a quiet appraisal and his innocently infantile comments reveal wisdom beyond his years...

...beautiful, vivacious. San Francisco is physically dramatic. San Francisco is funky but clean, elegant but spunky. San Francisco is tolerant of crazes (beatniks, hippies, microchip venture capitalists), yet preserves the old (cable cars, Victorian follies). If an out-of-town churl dares suggest that the city may be too cute for its own good, he is politely ignored. But disparagement by outsiders is uncommon: ever since the Democrats announced last year that they would hold their convention in San Francisco, politicians and journalists have savored the prospect.

...they are really weird people too. There's a flying dragon and a two-faced woman and figures like the chessmen you have in the den, Dad, and a handsome boy warrior and a wise little ballerina Empress of Fantasia.

...Dolly's conniving ex; and Stallone, who as a singer seems to have taken charisma lessons from his songwriter brother Frank, is game and good-spirited in a role that plays too heavily on urban oafishness. Rhinestone, though, belongs to the lady. Parton is an irresistible screen presence, cute and cuddlesome and just a mite raunchy, a sort of Daisy Mae West. And when she sings, "I would let my gentle bosom/ Be the pillow for your head," she reminds us that her body is a statuesque amalgam of art and nature. All together now: two cheers for Dolly...

...Gremlins are not good," says Joe Dante. "You can't trust them. You don't want one for a pet. You don't want your daughter to marry one." And yet they are, undeniably, cute. Four of them stand outside a home wearing earmuffs and ski caps, caroling. Though their goals are to multiply and maraud, the gremlins are distracted by the slightest opportunity to forget it all and have fun, whether that means ransacking a department store or catching a midnight matinee of Snow White and singing "Heigh-ho" along with the Seven Dwarfs. "If they...
