The heroine, now entering adolescence and starting to question the world around her ("Why do they call them training bras? It's not like learning to ride a bike" and "How come guys talk so much when they have nothing to say? And girls have a lot to say, but nobody will listen"), spreads her wings and flies from her quirky Pennsylvania family for five days in L.A. with Uncle Phil. Her purpose: to fill in the blanks on the mother she never knew. Potent psychological material, flattened and blanded. With Anna Chlumsky, Austin O'Brien, Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Richard Masur, Christine Ebersole; directed by Howard Zieff. (1994) — Duncan Shepherd
