When you first start watching this movie, you think the director has a budget of $10, but what you discover is a pioneer of the independent film. This little gem is a whimsical tale of 7 year old Joey Norton, who's duped by friends into thinking he's shot and killed his older brother, Richie. Upon believing this, Joey exiles himself to Coney Island, with Richie in hot pursuit. The film does a wonderful job of catching the innocence of the 50's. If you can get them away from the computer, video games and MTV, I truly believe that even kids today would enjoy this little piece of "Americana"
Two words....."don't bother."
Unless she's a die-hard Mel Gibson fan, NO woman wants this movie! It's a total insult, chock full of sexual innuendoes. When Gibson uttered "I'm gonna be the one who knows what they [women] want, and why they do those cookoo things they do", I reached for my car keys. "Cookoo things they do"?? Give me a break!
Next time, how about "What Men Want"? Picture it, 90 minutes of non-stop crotch grabbing.

Sonia Braga has come full circle starring in the Jorge Amado "trilogy"...."Dona Flor", "Gabriela", and now, Tieta".....and she's at her absolute best in this funny and enchanting story of the scorned "prodical daughter" returning to her slightly backwards hometown after an absence of more than 25 years, only to find nothing much has changed.
The movie was filmed in the beautiful coastal province of Bahia, in Brazil, and combined with the rythmatic music of Caetano Veloso, and the heavenly voices of Gal Costa and Zeze Motta,[who is also in the film] it's definitely a "must see"!
Watch the begining of the film for a cameo of the great Amado himself.
