s r It tried to be progressively complicated on a level that crosses into the inappropriate. Not much redeeming here other than it shows that divorce hurts children. Saw it on TCM.

Two twelve year olds, played by Trini Alvarado and Jeremy Levy, go to school on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. They explore their parents' broken marriages, and innocent youthful infatuation, with a wild climax involving a waterbed, a bubble bath and many sets of parents their new relationships: girlfriend, second husband, lawyer, employee, etc. Among the parents are a young John Lithgow and a young Kathryn Walker (the former girlfriend of Doug Kenney, founder of National Lampoon, an author of Animal House and Caddyshack, and other projects. He jumped off a cliff in depression when he thought Caddyshack was a flop. Kathryn Walker then married James Taylor. Now she's written a roman a clef about it all. And then there's Trini Alvarado, who has gone on to star in many films. And the young man who played her boyfriend, Jeremy Levy? He's now a professor of astro-physics at the University of Pittsburgh. Smart film, produced by Robert Altman, with other stars including Irene Worth and Olympia Dukakis. Neat. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty good drama about divorce. The young actors are really good, too. The ending was the only part I didn't care for, it could have been better. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Neurotic children of divorce in what's basically a very high quality after-school special, which starts out cute but ends up too low-key to have much of an impact. Kind of worth seeing for the nostalgia vibe and late 70's New York setting - so if you're really into that era NYC and are running out of Woody Allen and Neil Simon movies, there are some pretty cool apartments in this one. Which is a weird recommendation, I know. I was originally going to talk about how we all should miss Trini Alvarado, but she's just okay here. Which is still pretty impressive, given how young she is here. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
