Watch My First Mister For Free

Thanks for the memories!

I'll tell you why so serious

Better Late Then Never

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Leelee Sobieski is very good as displaced teenager Jennifer Benson, who is disgusted and bored with her life (like many teenagers, at some point).She is in the mall looking for a jobs while in full Goth costume. She meets Albert Brooks, a middle-aged man who owns a men's clothing store. Eventually, she gets a job, and starts to relate to him.The title is a bit odd, but basically she is a girl reading Sylvia Plath, her mother is alienating and unsympathetic, and she wants to find meaning in her life. A human story with a surprise ending.Directed by Christine Lahti and well worth viewing. 9/10.

I really enjoyed this movie, and actually saw it when it first came out. years later now, does it not remind anyone of Lost in Translation Murray/Johansen?? For some reason I feel it completely does, I feel the only reason why Lost got so much attention was Sofia Coppola's reputation, and I'm not going to deny Murray or Johanssan's credibility, I am complete fans of both...However I feel that this movie could have been more of a hit had it had an exotic setting like Japan, or just the boasting word of mouth hype that some movies are lucky enough to get, and this movie just didn't really attract that many people sadly..

I have to confess that I enjoy anything Albert Brooks does, whether as writer or director or actor, and this movie was no exception. The friendship between Brooks the older man and the young woman stuck in "Goth" mode was portrayed pretty realistically, as if between real people, once you accept the premise that it could happen at all. Carol Kane was funny in a touching way as the mother who wants so much to be a part of her alienated daughters life that she just keeps trying and trying no matter how much her daughter rejects her advances. Nice to see a picture that, like "Lost In Translation" depicts friendship between an older man and a younger woman without sexual themes.

This was a story about a rebellious teenager named Jennifer Wilson (Leelee Sobieski)who lived with a so 70s family. This was also a movie based on what kids, as teenagers experience through their life. For example, being rejected: Everyone fell asleep in class as Jennifer said her speech.Some kids like being the opposite: Jennifer hated smiling and she hated seeing her parents. And some kids believe that they are gay: at the age of 14, Jennifer thought she was lesbian. Being different: Jennifer loved things that were dark and warm and she wore boxers instead of g-strings. Rebelling against your religion: Jennifer believed in hell and she wanted to go there. And of course, LOVE! She had a crush on a 49 year old man named Randall Harris (Albert Brooks)who was the head of the store called "Rutherfields". Jennifer was looking for a job there. And then, Randall didn't allow her work there because, she was a goth! And , Jennifer called Randy a beer belly! HA!HA!HA!HA! Soon, Jennifer finally got a job at Rutherfields and she began to work at the back and give all the clothes colour codes and she had to arrange them all in order. And that "Shaking that ass" song suited each moment and then, you hear "Okay, don't touch me". And also when Randall said that he had a blue foot as he walked about as he got ready for a run. And not so soon, Jennifer went outside to look for Randy because, he hadn't come back. Jennifer found him lying in the road.At the hospital, a doctor named Mr.Smithman, I think (Kevin Cooney) said that Randall was dying. Jennifer was so distraught that she ran to the cemetery and rolled about on someone's grave. Ooh. It was so tragic. And like what Jennifer said: When someone's dying, you feel you don't have a life anymore". It's true because, you get so close to that person you love and when that person hasn't got long to live. Your love that you put into that person has been taken away from you.Jennifer later on went to New Mexico to find Sarah Harris, Randall's ex-wife. But fortunately, she had passed away six months earlier, according to her son Randy Harris Jr (Desmond Harrington. Jennifer told Randy that his father was still alive. Randy was busy packing up the house that he was living in. Ans sadly, Randy didn't want to see his father because, Randall was dying and Randy's mother JUST died. He had enough seeing his close family members die.The last time Jennifer saw Randall was at a dinner party. And soon, he died. Shame. And Randall left Jennifer with his son. Jennifer had also grown out of her teenage stage and she was ready to move on.A Teenage drama.
