★★★★ · Your child will be the laughing stock if he or she didn't have a dog. · Spuzz · 2017-07-31

A very fun little travelogue of what you can expect after you move into the (then I'm sure) heavily wooded Redwood estates. This is a very well detailed fiilm.for it's time that showcases the people and the activities one can do there (Shuffleboard! Archery!) Make sure your kid has a dog or a cat though, because the film menacingly states that 'Every child has a pet'. Even if they don't know how to hold it correctly.
