Full Plot Details

Two ultra-precocious Upper West Side 12-year-olds, Franny and Jamie, are best friends. Jamie, the "new boy" in town, has experienced his parents' divorce and guides his friend Franny in the art of surviving her own folks' imminent split. Franny senses the divorce because she has been secretly watching her father arrive home at 5:00 every morning and pathetically try to brush off (to his wife) and hide (from his daughter) the fact that he has been away all night. She is down in the dumps and finds a kindred spirit in her buddy Jamie, whose parents split up long ago. He points out the advantages of being a "child of divorce", and is so persuasive that he almost convinces himself as well as Franny. When Franny convinces her parents to let her go to a sleepover with Jamie, they explore their budding curiosity for the opposite sex. When Franny's mother finds the book "The Joy of Sex" in her daughter's bedroom and discovers that her daughter has deceived her, four frantic "adult" couples converge on the sleepover site--Jamie's father's swanky, fantastical bachelor pad--to catch the two in a compromising position. Ultimately, Jamie and Franny realize that, in order to survive the undeniable disadvantages of their parents' divorces, they must weather the hard times together as friends...if not more.

Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 8/10 by Judith MartinHeart warming is not really the term ... "Insufferable" would be more like it.
User Review - 8/10 by Linda LA surprisingly smart film from 1979, totally unknown to me. Two twelve year olds, played by Trini Alvarado and Jeremy Levy, go to school on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. They explore their parents' broken marriages, and innocent youthful infatuation, with a wild climax involving a waterbed, a bubble bath and many sets of parents their new relationships: girlfriend, second husband, lawyer, employee, etc. Among the parents are a young John Lithgow and a young Kathryn Walker (the former girlfriend of Doug Kenney, founder of National Lampoon, an author of Animal House and Caddyshack, and other projects. He jumped off a cliff in depression when he thought Caddyshack was a flop. Kathryn Walker then married James Taylor. Now she's written a roman a clef about it all. And then there's Trini Alvarado, who has gone on to star in many films. And the young man who played her boyfriend, Jeremy Levy? He's now a professor of astro-physics at the University of Pittsburgh. Smart film, produced by Robert Altman, with other stars including Irene Worth and Olympia Dukakis. Neat.
User Review - 6/10 by Aj VNeurotic children of divorce in what's basically a very high quality after-school special, which starts out cute but ends up too low-key to have much of an impact. Kind of worth seeing for the nostalgia vibe and late 70's New York setting - so if you're really into that era NYC and are running out of Woody Allen and Neil Simon movies, there are some pretty cool apartments in this one. Which is a weird recommendation, I know. I was originally going to talk about how we all should miss Trini Alvarado, but she's just okay here. Which is still pretty impressive, given how young she is here.
