Relive some memories with us as we dive into the classic musical chosen by Maddie! We share our personal experiences with the movie, from the time we first watched it as teens to Jen's hilarious first impressions.We'll take you on a trip down memory lane as we discuss the movie's production budget, box office, and storyline.  And of course, we'll debate which of the six brothers is our ultimate favorite. But we don't stop there – we'll also dig into the movie's underlying themes around romance and marriage, including some of the more questionable attitudes portrayed.Join us as we tackle Adam's objectifying attitude toward women, his leathery fringe outfit, and how the movie reflects his chauvinistic views. We'll also chat about the romantic cliches portrayed in the movie, such as Millie falling for someone based on their cooking ability, and her tragic backstory. Plus, we'll share some of our favorite humorous moments sprinkled throughout the film. So come along for a fun-filled exploration of the frontier and its peculiar take on love and relationships!Have some feedback for us?  Email us at shockedandapplaud@gmail.com or visit these fine Web establishments:
