    Whatever happened to Corey Haim? The former teen star ended up in straight-to-video fodder, which seems such a travesty in light of his excellent performance in this sweet, simple and cliché-free study of first love. As Lucas, the serious kid whom half the school wouldn't notice unless they tripped over him, he is warm, witty and wise beyond his years, and his earnest conversations with heart's desire Kerri Green are small masterpieces of observation. But true love can never run smoothly, especially when there are sporty bozos like school football star Charlie Sheen bestriding the primrose path. Winona Ryder made her debut (as one of Lucas's schoolfriends) in this delightful comedy from writer/director David Seltzer, which should not be missed.

  • Refreshing teen movie that takes the side of the dweebs. Lucas (Haim) is an awkward 13-year-old, more Adrian Mole than... read more on Time Out

    good family film

    A good all round family film.Suitable for all ages.A typical 1st love story set around a school baseball team.A good story line with no nasty shocks.Would probably be to tame for the teenager of today.

    A teen flick - and it shows

    We gave up on this when it proved to be a soppy teen flick. Maybe its because we are both over 60, but we do enjoy films that take us back to earlier times. This one though was too heavy on sex and bad language early on, and it was a turnoff.

    The Oscars 2007: Dearly Departed

    • 26 Feb 2007

    At last Marty has his Oscar! The relief in the auditorium was palpable, and as one the audience rose to salute the American filmmaker who has been at the forefront of his craft for more than 30 years. It must have been a relief for Messrs Spielberg, Coppola and Lucas, too, who presented the award for Best Picture - it would have been a terrible embarrassment if their old friend had been overlooked yet again, at the seventh attempt. So Marty won Best Director, and then watched from the wings as Read more
