The Beniker Gang
this was the cutest thing ever i wish andrew did more of this back then. just as i thought i couldn't love him more he proves me wrong again with every film he's in, he's so endearing. and also really great with kids, the chemistry was so good between all of them. they felt like a real family and you could feel the actual care andrew had for these kids it's so adorable. i let out a giggle when i saw the grandfather disguise its so bad that its funny 

i would definitely be the kind to read that dear lola column, it was a really cute addition to the overall storyline of this film. it was somewhat a core part of it. i would also definitely try marshmallows on pizza

ending was hands down my favourite part of this entire thing it's so cute and really reflects the entire feel of the film. i also feel that there could've been a sequel to this it would have been really cool. i love how they all him lola
