Pros: Leelee Sobieski, with slavic eyes and mournful beauty, is perfectly cast, a star in waiting.
Cons: Screen play, direction, characterizations and the plot go almost straight through the floor.
Mary Ann and I saw MY FIRST MISTER last night. It is a film which shows how far GHOST WORLD might have gone wrong, without Terry Zwigoff to give the film a realistic vision for its surreal style. Leelee Sobieski (JOAN OF ARC, Duguay, TV-1999), Albert...

Pros: Tender, quirky tale and Leelee Sobieski's amazing performance
Cons: An unexpected and rather unbelievable coincidence leads to a strange, melodramatic twist
It you enjoy heartwarming, feel-good movies, this is a must see! Actress Christine Lahti, who won an Oscar for her 1996 short film, "Lieberman in Love," turns feature-film director with this quirky, poignant tale of two people who get a second...

Pros: Leelee Sobieski and Albert Brooks in sharp, well written roles
Cons: None
So here I am, sitting around on an early Friday evening, what to do? Well, I can watch the semi-final match between Jennifer Capriati and Justine Henin-Hardenne at the U.S. Open and be depressed that Jennifer just lost in a third set tiebreaker. I mi ...

Pros: great performances by the leads, particularly Albert Brooks
Cons: the expository "family" stuff is like a bad sitcom
My First Mister is like a little kid who's so eager to get to the great punchline of his story that he mangles the beginning of it. The opening scenes are a dreary slog through clicheville, but when the movie hits its offbeat stride, there's no...

Pros: Strong performances by and chemistry between Leelee Sobieski and Albert Brooks.
Cons: That ruinous final act.
Two misfits--one a teenage girl, the other a far older man--strike up a most unlikely friendship. If this sounds like Ghost World to you, you wouldn't be mistaken, for Christine Lahti's feature directorial debut plays like a watered-down...

Pros: emotionally sincere effort
Cons: collapses in final act
My First Mister contains the kinds of characters we want to watch run free. We want them to be spontaneous, if only the plot would shut up and let them. Convincing actors have gathered to create convincing characters, but the story abandons them...
