Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsCasey argues with Lucy that she is 9 years old, when Lucy says that she is 8. Although the movie is trying to show how the parents neglect to remember her birthday, given that her date of birth is December 11, 1975, the Casey character would still be 8 at the time the movie was released.
- Quotes
Casey Brodsky: Mother, you and dad for a long time did not recognize my rights as a human being. You both treated me like chattel. You cannot do with me as you please anymore. We have irreconcilable differences.

Featured review
I didn't know anything about this movie before watching it, except that Drew Barrymore divorces her parents. I think that could be why I found the movie so surprising. But the movie has so many elements that make it one of the strongest films of its type. It's completely engrossing, showing realistically how a marriage can go from highs to lows and that each party can be responsible. It also shows how selfish parents can be and how without realising it they can screw with a child (drew). After watching this film I came to IMDB to see if shelley long or ryan o'neal had won oscars for their performances and if the film won best picture, but apparently it was shunned and not many people have seen it....at least there's cable. It looked like a lot of effort went into making the movie, so it's a shame it's been overlooked.
