I saw this movie at the time and liked it well enough, although I had sentimental feelings about the '60s original.  This time, other than curiosity value in Lohan's debut, I wasn't really drawn in.  Nancy Meyers directed and co-wrote.

Two minutes in I exclaimed, "God, this is so frickin' genteel!"  Then I MST3Ked the fact that no one looked period-appropriate in the flashbacks (the '50s according to Wikipedia, but I barely would've bought the '80s) and how much I disliked every character.  Still, the coastal Rhode Island scenery almost survives the blandifying.  Based on the Susan Minot novel and directed by Lajos Koltai.
