With Six You Get Eggroll description After her long and wholesome run as America's Sweetheart, Doris Day quit movies with this well-scrubbed picture. With Six You Get Eggroll--oof, what a title--caught the wave of blended-family comedies, coming just after Yours, Mine and Ours and just before TV's The Brady Bunch. Doris has three sons, and new beau Brian Keith has an 18-year-old daughter (the still-baby-faced Barbara Hershey). It's family-friendly sitcom stuff, with both Day and Keith doing their comfortable, patented thing; when the two of them are onscreen together it's like watching a couple of old sweaters mate. This one is straight formula for fans only, although connoisseurs of camp will enjoy the whiff of Aquarius in the otherwise square proceedings (it was 1968, after all) when Doris goes to a nightclub where the Grass Roots are playing. There's also a hippie gang (featuring Jamie Farr and William Christopher, before M*A*S*H) with ponchos and love beads. The times they were a-changin', and kudos to Day for bowing out gracefully. --Robert Horton |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | One timeless comedy! |
| I saw this as a kid and was amused by it then and recently watched this and still enjoyed it.
Doris Day plays a single mom with 3 kids (we don't know what happened to the husband/father---typical of a 1960s comedy---divorce or death not talked about) and Brian Keith plays a single dad to a daughter. The two meet again (they met when their spouses were around) at a dinner party, fall in love, get married and break the news to their kids who are not in favor of the relationship. Be prepared for lots of laughs! This film has many popular actors in it. Besides Day and Keith, a young Barbara Hershey, Jamie Farr, William Christopher (also from M*A*S*H) George Carlin, Pat Carroll, Alice Ghostley, and the pop rock group, The Grass Roots are were in it. Truly, a timeless classic comedy. |
