Avis en vedette
This reminds me a little of American Pie with masturbating inside food. It also tries to be a sweet coming-of-age movie. The two aspects do clash. On the one hand, Keri Russell has a wet T-shirt scene and Peter pontificates about her breast. On the other hand, it's a sugary sweet puppy love story. The old lady's revelations are really compelling but Michael Davis sometimes goes down a cheesy kiddie movie road. Joshua Schaefer is good as the lead but his narrations should be trim down. Finally, R.D. Robb is not funny enough to be the comedic best friend.
Otherwise, the film's premise is ridiculous. There is lots of sexual humor, as well as almost-funny references to human waste products. Nevertheless, there are some genuinely funny moments, almost none of which involve our main characters, the funniest of which involve a recurring young pre-teen neighborhood bully.
Most memorable scenes: Keri Russell's wet t-shirt and bikini shots.
On the other hand, I must admitt I did enjoy this film somewhat. It had a few bright points and Keri Russel sure helped. See it. Forget it. I give it a 5/10.
but the only thing i really didnt like is the ending. i mean call it stupid youth or stupid teen love, that watching a crush with someone else and knowing that they both banging every night. and then in the end she finally fall for the kid.. pfff.
If the boy just moved on his life even knowing that his lover now feeling for him , then it would be great ending.

Peter: My grandfather was right. I now know in my heart of hearts that people are supposed to make love. It is their main purpose in life. All those other activities - playing the violin, washing dishes, reading novels, drinking wine - are just ways of passing time, until you can make love again.
- Générique farfeluThis film is dedicated to Andrea, whose balcony I would stand under eight days a week.
