I love it
Yes, I love this movie. But I was in it, so I might be a little biased. haha. When they are under the boardwalk kissing, I am the little girl on the man's shoulders eating cotton candy. Anyway. I thought this movie was great.
one of the best
this is one of the best movies i have ever seen. i have watched it for over 12 years and i never get tired of it. c Thomas Howell is gorgeous and Juliette lewis is amazing in it. i would recommend everyone take the time to see it. well worth watching!!!! it will make you laugh and cry but will leave you with a feeling of happiness at the end. not a predictable ending. it is far better than recent girlie movies out and i would recommend it for men as well. it really is up there with my other favourites like dirty dancing, flash dance and Bridget Jones diary. not much more i can really say about this except if you haven't yet seen this then go and try and rent a copy today. i promise you won't be disappointed.
A sweet and sometimes poignant coming-of-age film
A sweet and sometimes poignant coming-of-age film set in Long Island in 1961. Craig Bolotin, who directed and adapted Alice McDermott's novel, is able to give a balanced portrait of the advantages and disadvantage of growing up in this era, such as the blessing vs. Detriment of naiveté, the kids' freedom to roam vs. Lack of things to do. And not least, how pre-contraception era upbringing and parenting was so fundamentally different, not really because of differing moral values, but out of pragmatism. Little Eliza Dushku looks a little too young for her part, but there is a purity and authenticity in her infatuation and friendship with Juliette Lewis, who is well cast as the semi-rebelling teenage girl next door.
A Wonderful Movie
That Night is a wonderful movie about growing up and discovering yourself. Alice( Eliza Dushku), idolizes her neighbour Sheryl (Julliete Lewis). Alice spends all of her time spying on Sheryl and imagining what it would be like to be her. Due to a incident, Alice and Sheryl become friends and now Alice will do anything to try and help Sheryl and her boyfriend Rick stay together. This is a great movie and everytime I watch it, it puts me in a good mood. It also has a great soundtrack. I would give That Night 9/10
Love this movie!!
I love this movie so much. Its in my top three of my favorite movies of all time. I remember the first time I saw it. I was fumbling around late at night trying to find something to watch. Then there it was. A cute little movie of a young girl discovering things about the world. I was like..hmmm well maybe. So I watched it. Fell in love! Not only was it one of the best love stories I had seen in awhile, but its was made in a fashion that was real. A bit taboo for the time its set in.. but thats what makes it really great. If you have never seen this movie.. I definitely suggest you buy it.. rent it.. borrow it from someone.. Whatever. Just see it. Its so cute. And the music isn't bad either.. Its a great movie and I had a great time watching it. Thanks.. Lilly
