Ryan Merriman has to be one of the best underrated young actors out there! His biggest role came in Deep End of the Ocean with Michelle Pfeiffer in 1999...However, he has been in front of the camera since the age of 10. At 18, he is currently in australia filming yet another Disney Channel movie...Anyways....He is very underrated and I hope he breaks away from that made for tv movies circle and busts on the big screen more. He is truly excellent and can act better than some famous people now!
Anyway...the movie is set in 1950's New York...A young jewish boy names Lenny (Merriman) is obessessed with seeing two people having sex. This becomes his mission over his summer break. After a failed attempt at seeing his parents, he is sent to Queens with his aunt and uncle. While in queens, he meets a group of kids his age who have a "sex club" where all they do it talk about sex because all are too afraid to actually do it. Lenny becomes smitten with his Relatives neighbor, a former bra model (gretchen mol), and sets his sights on seeing her and her doctor boyfriend bumping uglies....
This movie was without a doubt a great piece of film making. Jason Alexander directs the cast very well, and all seem to be enjoying what they are doing. At times the movie does seem a little far fetched, butit is a movie..No one said it had to be perfect. It is worth renting, and buying...I do, however, feel that if it would have been released on the big screen for more than the 2 days and 2 theaters that it was...It would have been a total bomb....Still a good movie!
