"Who was that kid?"
"Andy, from down the street."
"Nah, nah, nah. The one in the skirt."
"Doug, she cannot stay a little girl forever. She's growing up. This did not happen overnight. It's been coming on for months. She asked me to help her."
"You didn't have to!"
Review: An enjoyable film about a father stressed out when his daughter blossoms into a beautiful teenager. Tony Danza plays the type of role he perfected on "Who's the Boss?" It's fun seeing Matthew Perry as the predatory boyfriend and Wallace Shawn as the psychiatrist.
"Start at the beginning. Read it carefully. It'll just possibly have all the answers to your problems. But you can call me any hour of the day, if you have a question."
"Thank you! Thank you, Dr. Fishbinder."
"Oh, just one more thing."
"Yeah?"
"Just in case you're a slow reader, better put your daughter on the pill."
"What?"
"Right away."
"Oh, set him up and shoot him down, huh? Who's next?"
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
"What am I talking about? Take a good look, Katie. That cute, adorable face staring back at you is not a weapon. Don't think about it as a weapon, Katie, because it's not. I mean, if it was a weapon, it could backfire. Trust me."
4 out of 5 Stars
