I loved the movie, but I too missed the birthday gifts from Gradfather and thought that the "celebration" was really about taking more responsibilty now that Felicity was 10 than about a special day for her. They did run some storylines together, but I thought that they did a good job of it, for the most part, and there really was too much to squeeze into two hours! I would like to see it again, but will probably wait until next Tuesday and buy the movie; I doubt my husband would be too thrilled by me watching it AGAIN on Sunday! Lin
