Title: The Existential Implications of Breasts
Product review: A student of existential philosophy may find meaning in this film. To the rest of us, the only thing learned is that precious money and time have been wasted in buying and viewing this film. Sure, the ultimate lesson, I think, is that family is the most important commodity of life, But I didn't need a bad film to teach me that lesson. "So what's this movie really about?" I ask rehetorically. It's about a nomadic family, a divorced father with no prospects raising three kids in the "slums of Beverly Hills" while he sponges money off of his rich loder brother, and a teenaged girl with mature-for-her-age breasts gaining consciousness of life's true meaning. Alan Arkin's performance is completely forgettable. Marissa Tomei, a star in her own right, is only tangentially involved in the film (although her breasts play a limited role, as well.) All in all, what is the point of this film? To avoid it.
