"It doesn't always have to be six-guns, boobs, and explosions."
That was my comment, referring to my usual movie-watching habits, after we watched LITTLE MANHATTAN, a sweet, occasionally funny film about the budding romance between a couple of fifth-graders who live in New York City. This movie takes place in what I think of as sitcom Manhattan, where everything is incredibly clean and safe and charming. It's a pretty good film, although, lowbrow that I am, I wouldn't want a steady diet of movies like it, either. But that takes me back to my original comments about six-guns, etc. On the other hand, why the hell not?
New to me.
ReplyDeleteWe saw it years ago and, possibly particularly so as New Yorkers, liked it.

Romance for fifth graders? I was still playing with my toy soldiers and cap guns at that age.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in fifth grade I was more interested in comic books, paperbacks, and pulp magazines than in girls. I think we've just about come full circle.
