Yeah, that one wasn't too bad.

Hmmm, yeah, _Clueless_ was pretty good, at least. _Loser_ wasn't all that
good, though, as I recall, and I can't remember what I thought of _Look

Hmmm, I have vaguely positive memories of that one ...
Betty Thomas did all right with _Private Parts_ and _The Brady Bunch
Movie_, as I recall. And among the Hayley Mills comedies I grew up with,
there was _The Trouble with Angels_, directed by Ida Lupino.
