A cute little "Coming of Age" movie with Kristen Bell playing Alison who has just graduated High School and decides to visit her estranged Father (Tim Matheson) who abandoned her family when she was very young. Ed Asner as the quirky old retired english teacher steals the show. The Father is a beach bum/handyman stuck in a desert town on moonlight bay and does not know how to relate to a daughter he has not seen for 10 years and deflects most of his daughters attempts to connect with him. Alison developes a friendship with the retired english teacher who is very eccentric but often offers the right story to comfort her. Sean Young plays Sandy, the On again, off again girl friend of Alisons Father. She provides a strong supporting role in quiding the Father in his last chance to connect with his daughter.Read full review
This is a well acted emotional drama of a 17 yr old young woman trying to find her way in the world and explore her non-exsistent yet potential relationship with her estranged, alcoholic father. A very "today" film that has a positive ending that sends the message of love, understanding, compromise, hurt, and recovery.
Great movie
