This
film is based on a best-selling novel by Wally Lamb. It is the 1960’s in the fictional small
town of Three Rivers, Connecticut.
Felix Funicello is a distant cousin of Annette Funicello and he attends Aloysius
Gonzaga Parochial School. Annette
was a Mouseketeer and teen movie actress.
Felix is a fifth-grader in 1964 and he’s learning about life from his
family, his school and his friends.
It’s
the Christmas Season and the different grades at the school will put on a program for the
parents and relatives. Everything
goes wrong but it’s a big hit.
This film may have more meaning for those who grew up with the same
lifestyle as pictured in this film. Some scenes, everyone
can relate to, stage fright, being scared by a movie and not knowing what a
joke means. 3* (This movie is OK)
Comedy
directed by Colin Theys with Chevy Chase, Molly Ringwald, Annabella Sciorra,
Cheri Oteri, Conchata Ferrell, Meat Loaf, Danny Nucci.
Note: Imdb 7.7 out of 10, 67% audience on
