Movie Info

A wacky screwball sex comedy for the kids and grandpa too? Seinfeld's Jason Alexander makes his directorial debut with this gentle but funny coming-of-age story set in 1955 about Lenny (Ryan Merriman), a 14-year-old from the Bronx who is dedicated to witnessing a copulating couple. His early attempts at spying on his mom and her new corpulent husband Polinsky are thwarted when he is sent to live with his aunt Norma and uncle Phil in Queens for the summer. He soon learns that Norma is pregnant.

lighthearted, nostalgic comedy

The timing's off on almost every scene, giving you too much time to accurately predict what'll occur next.

The sets, the cars, the costumes, everything about the production is authentically nostalgic.

The rare and wonderful thing about this film...is that it so vividly recreates the sensibilities prevelant during the era it recalls, the mid-1950s.

A 14 year old's quest to find out all he can about sex actually opens up some doors for him about the meaning of friendship, love, and masculinity.

I really enjoyed this movie. I was a good coming of age story and the acting was really good. Just a cute movie to see.
