August 29, 2009Coming of age film. But think 1971 release date, not 2009. What I really like about his film is the tone and pacing. It just works.

May 9, 2009Spot on coming -of- age tale. Strikes a nerve for all of us men who had a "Dorothy" in our lives. A good, fun movie for a certain mood. Bittersweet.

April 28, 2008Fine high school nostalgia picture - more subdued than similar, more popular films, and perhaps the only "coming-of-age" story I find tolerable.

November 19, 2007(1971 Director: Robert Mulligan) One of my personal favorites! Sure it's teens away for the summer, etc. but this was not written to be an "American Pie" or merely a top dollar grossing 'GROSSOUT' flick! some real depth to this one!
