Very Insightful and Realistic
by navyblueblood β€’ 2007-01-09
8/10

"This is not, nor was it intended to be, a happy movie. Wendy, (a great performance by Teri Garr), is a very lonely and extremely vulnerable divorced Mother of two boys. She is wooed and won by Sam, (Peter Weller), a great guy and perfect husband/father replacement. Wendy's oldest son, Jake, discovers a secret which Wendy chooses to downplay rather than jeopardize her relationship with Sam. What should Jake do? Not all life situations are happy situations. The script is a strong and realistic rendering of a very believable situation. For a happy movie, I recommend "Mary Poppins&quo..."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

Corey Haim's first day of shooting was with Peter Weller, and he went up to compliment the older actor on his performance. Weller collared Haim, throwing him up against a wall to warn him not to speak to him after a take, and it took three assistants to separate them. Haim later admitted that he was terrified by the experience, but Weller apparently was method acting, unaware by anybody else.
