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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - 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.
Rating: - Simply hilarious
The team of Doris Day and Brian Keith is perfect in this film. It is a really funny movie. One that you can just put in and watch when you want to relax and have a good laugh.
Rating: - Fun movie to watch
I grew up in the 60's and 70's and especially love to watch old movies and shows from back then. This movie is so fun to watch when you can't find anything on tv to watch in evenings! I especially dislike what's on tv now....reality shows. So the other night I enjoyed this movie all over again.
Rating: - Great Family Movie
This is a great family movie. They don't make movies like this anymore. You can let your kids watch it without worrying about what might be in the movie that is inappropriate for children. This was one of my favorite movies to watch as a kid.
Rating: - Fantastic movie!
This is simply a timeless classic - though many laughs with the hippie age of the late 60's and early 70's, a great movie with Doris Day, Brian Keith, Jackie Joseph, and other all-star talent. The frustrations of two widowers trying to blend a family, each with children of their own, is hilarious, as well as though-provoking. This is a great movie to have in your library to watch over and over again, as well as the book.
