Default Your favorite Facts movie

I really like Down Under, although it has the same format of the Paris movie (each girl does something). My list would be:
1. Down Under
2. Paris
3. Reunion

By the way, I just bought Reunion on DVD. I read on Wikipedia that Reunion is unpublished in America, but here in Italy, they sell it on DVD.

Yeah but unlike Paris, it seems realistic the girls doing their own thing in Down Under. They're adults in Down Under whereas in Paris, Natalie and Tootie are barely teenagers and off running around with a man they don't know and is an alcoholic. Then we have Jo off with some biker dude she doesn't know and falls in love with him. Mrs. Garrett isn't even worried about her girls. She only cares about her cooking class. Paris is very unrealistic. Plus it's also a romantic drama which I'm not fond of with movies. My order is still the same from the last time this was asked: Down Under, Paris, and Reunion. Reunion will always be butt naked last because it's a crappy story for the girls and it's not really a reunion. Since Nancy refused to do the reunion, they should have brought back the 1st season girls for the fans of them. That way the movie wouldn't have been the waste it was.

Okay, here is my list (although it's not 100 % accurate, cos i vaguely remember much from DOWN UNDER since i watched it once on YouTube, and not even the whole movie):

1. PARIS:it has MRS G and her girls on it, and each of them get into some kind of mischief or adventure!!!!
2. DOWN UNDER: i chose that one as my second, because what i very clearly remember was the great chemistry/dynamic between JO & BLAIR (on the Paris movie they were hardly together)
3. REUNION 2001: i chose it as last, because when i watched it i was highly disappointed (is the least to say) that JO wasn't around! I was looking forwards to an encounter between BLAIR/JO with some of their classic bickering!!! It would have been great to see those 2 former frenemies sharing those blast from the past.....

Oh, that's just a joke because it seems most fans don't care for that movie, or care for it the least.

Jo not being there is not why it’s a least favorite. It was the crappy story the movie was. Natalie having two guys fight over her, Blair acting like a goofball in the hotel plus the fact she owns a hotel, Tootie being a widow (*******s ), and having Jo’s spawn there as if that would suit the absence of Jo. It was an awful mess. When a movie is titled reunion, it should be about all characters coming back and not filling it with useless stories like Jo’s spawn and that kid who worked at the hotel running a muck with Tootie’s daughter. As I said prior, they should have brought back the 1st season girls since Nancy refused. They could have made the movie they called a reunion an actual reunion movie.

No, even the barely noticeable Sue Ann ref wasn't enough to save it.

I agree, BLAIR acting like a ditzy airhead was too much for me to take: the only good part was when she had the 'heart to heart' talk with MRS G (it reminded me of the good old days in FOL).

NATALIE having hot guys as suitors was also weird (one would have been enough, but not 2 lol!).

TOOTIE being a widower upset me too: JEFFREY was such a great match for her, and having him die without any reason at such a young age, leaving her with a daughter was tasteless....

and lastly,

MRS G: she was the only natural one who remained true to her character, and still as great as ever!!!

I agree on everything, Christopher! You don't have the impression it is an actual reunion movie

You're right, Valentina! Only Mrs. Garrett tried to remain true to her original character
