Based on Neil Simon's play of the same

Based on Neil Simon's play of the same name directed by Martha Coolidge Starring Mercedes Ruehl and Richard Dreyfuss Even a grown up can get lost in their own hometown In the 1940s two boys and their father move south from the Bronx after their mother dies They reluctantly live with their stern grandmother but aunt Bella is there too She looks grown up but has the mind and emotions of a child She truly wants her own independence and dreams free of her grandmother's constraints The music is very kooky in parts and we spend so much time in this candy shop residence But Mercedes Ruehl shines so much in this So much melodrama it almost never takes a break But these two young boys learn to be brave in their own way after Aunt Bella asserts herself Everybody here finds their own discoveries, victories, over life and handicaps even autocracy A matriarchal figure might seem rough around the edges but it's necessary to have those around grow from it

I love this movie. It just makes you

I love this movie. It just makes you feel good from beginning to end. Such delightful characters, especially headlined by Mercedes Ruehl and the incomparable Irene Worth. The two boys including the late Brad Stoll and Mike Damus added even more depth to the film; and that's a big deal for me because I'm not typically moved as much by child actors in general.
