...WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO IT MOST INTERESTING CONTEST OF THE EVENING AWARD: To the Battle of the Pageboys, waged between the permanent hair-dos of Oscar-presenters Tatum O'Neal, Ellen Burstyn and Anne-Margret...
...charm of the happy-go-lucky flickers: It is too bad that the frantic slapstick of the film's early passages ill prepares one for the ending, vitiating its force. It is by no means a fatal flaw, there being so much about Nickelodeon-including supporting performances by Tatum O'Neal, Brian Keith and Stella Stevens-that is captivating.

The little kids are pretty cute, but Tatum has evolved into the Margaux Hemingway of the pre-teen set, which, as far as we're concerned, is nowheresville...
