highly recommended

In WITH SIX YOU GET EGGROLL, Abby McClure, a widow with three sons, and Jake Iverson, a widower with a teen-age daughter, begin dating and eventually decide to get married. But they're not prepared for the hostile reactions from their children, who are not very excited about the new union between the two families.

~With Six You Get Eggroll....love it!~

~It's too bad that this is Doris Day's last film roll. She never lost her comic timing and beautiful prescense she carried throughout her amazing movie career. This film is wonderful because everyone in it contributed their own humor and the story is a *true to life* story, although it was more innocent considering the times. I loved this film and have watched it many time and my children have also watched it with me. I recommend it highly! We will never see movies like this again!~

There's A Man In Mommy's Bed: Doris Day's Cheerful Exit From Feature Films

Doris Day was easily the most bankable movie star of the late 1950s and early 1960s, winning critical favor and wide popularity with such films as PILLOW TALK, PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES, and many others. But as time passed, Day's husband and manager Martin Melcher selected material that began to errode her career: films such as THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT and DO NOT DISTURB were popular but weakly scripted, and even Day's star power couldn't save such disasters as CAPRICE, THE BALLAD OF JOSIE, and WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. In 1968, however, Day re-established her reputation with her final feature film: WITH SIX YOU GET EGGROLL.

Abby (Day) is a widow with three sons; Jake (Brian Keith) is a widower with a daughter. When Abby's matchmaking sister forces the two together the result is not immediately positive--but it doesn't take long before romantic sparks begin to fly. Unfortunately, their children are considerably less enthusiastic about the match and no sooner are the two serious than war errupts with significant nastiness.

At the peak of her career Day tended to specialize in absurd comedies that could never happen in real life, so it is a little surprising to discover that EGGROLL is actually quite realistic up to a point. The newlyweds begin by trying to placate the children and their efforts gradually raise to ridiculous but entirely plausible heights--at least until the last ten minutes or so, when the film swings less successfully into broad farce. Even so, the script is amusing, the cast (particularly Alice Ghostly) is memorable, and when Day and Kieth square off in a wittily scripted argument you are suddenly aware that both were exceptional at their craft.

Following EGGROLL Day would appear in television's THE DORIS DAY SHOW and make several other television appearances--largely in order to pay off the debts left to her by Melcher, who died just as EGGROLL was released. But unlike many other stars who announce retirement only to make a series of endless comebacks, Day made a graceful exit. When she quit, she quit. WITH SIX YOU GET EGGROLL is hardly among her best films, it is a fond farewell nonetheless, charming without being cloying, witty without being waspish. The DVD offers no bonuses of any kind, but the film itself is in excellent condition. Recommended.
