★★★★ · Your child will be the laughing stock if he or she didn¡¯t have a dog. · Spuzz · 2005-12-27

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 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.
