Sigourney Weaver and Bebe Neuwirth are best friends in this short and sweet coming-of-age tale. Weaver is married to John Ritter and is stepmother to Aaron Stanford (first film). Stanford, 15 years old, has a crush on his stepmother and plans to let her know on his Thanksgiving break from prep school. Things don't go as planned and he ends up in the bed of someone else. This may sound like a sleazy immoral tale, but Stanford's character is a bright mature young man. His superb performance makes this film rise above most films of this type. Robert Iler (son of Jas. Gandolfini on the Sopranos) is Stanford's closest friend and confidant. Weaver and Neuwirth both bring that special something to their roles. Coincidentally, both are in real life relationships with younger men (no, not that young). When the film has run its short 78 minute course, you'll wish it weren't over.
