this is a gently amusing coming of age comedy that comes from the later and more mature period of neil simon writing. although there are plenty of wisecracks to go around and this is not one of those neil simon pieces where every character spouts out one liner jokes for 2 hours like theyre guest stars on a bob hope special. there are also dramatic elements (some work and some are overkill) that lend some weight to the story. the performances are good across the board and especially blythe danner as the mother (although she and judith ivey were oddly wasp ish choices to play jewish women). i have never been a fan of jonathan silverman and but i will say that he hits the right notes as the obnoxious and gawky and and totally horned up teen age narrator or protagonist of the story. the movie is very similar in tone to woody allen radio days and but the latter is far more imaginative and funny than this one.
