Full Plot Details

Seriocomic story based on the memoir by Beverly Donofrio, the movie follows a young woman who finds her life radically altered by an event from her teen years. Born in 1950, Beverly grew up bright and ambitious in a working-class neighborhood in Connecticut; her father was a tough but good-hearted cop who listened to his daughter's problems, and her mother was a nervous woman eager to imagine the worst. From an early age, Beverly displays a keen intelligence and an interest in literature, and dreams of going to college in New York and becoming a writer. However, she also develops an early interest in boys, and at 15 finds herself madly in love with a boy from her high school. However, an attempt to get his attention leads to an embarassing incident at a party, and Ray, a sweet but thick-headed 18-year-old, steps forward to defend her. Beverly and Ray end up making out, and after one thing leads to another, Beverly discovers she's pregnant. Telling Ray is only marginally less difficult than informing her parents, and at 16, Beverly is a wife and mother. Against the odds, Beverly is determined to still finish high school and go on to college, but that goal becomes more difficult with time, especially after Beverly's marriage begins to fall apart. Ray tries to do the right thing but has trouble holding a job, and becomes addicted to heroin.

Movie Reviews

San Diego Union-Tribune - 9/10 by David ElliottThe splendid cast keeps Penny Marshall's film ... from heading into a soaped limbo of banality.
San Francisco Examiner - 9/10 by Joe LeydonAn episodic but frequently compelling account of a driven woman's stop-and-go journey.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Jay CarrIt's Barrymore's most ambitious role to date. She proves she is maturing as an actress.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyColumbia's marketing exploits the commercial title and producer James Brooks pedigree, but this humorless chick flick is one of Penny Marshall's worst films.
Movie Gurus - 8/10 by James O'EhleyWe've suffered through worse chick flicks throughout the years . . .
Mark Reviews Movies - 8/10 by Mark DujsikI can take or leave sentimentality, but I cannot ignore when a film actually portrays at least three truthful, complex relationships.
UK Critic - 8/10 by Ian Waldron-MantganiA wonderful, forgiving, surprising movie.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by David NohBarrymore is so innately likable, so radiantly human, that one has extreme difficulty thinking of her in any kind of unsympathetic light.
New York Observer - 8/10 by Rex ReedA film with honesty, sincerity and a great big heart.
Citysearch - 8/10 by Steven GrimmBarrymore rises to the occasion in this smart story, which never flinches from the self-doubt and tough decisions a single mother makes along the way.
