5.0 out of 5 stars All About Growing Up, July 4, 2001

By

This review is from: The Impossible Years [VHS] (VHS Tape)

1968's "The Impossible Years" is a very stylish and chic comedy set in suburbia as the era of the innocent and carefree American lifestyle was coming to an end. David Niven plays a psychiatrist who is run ragged trying to keep his free spirited teenage daughter, played by the beautiful Cristina Ferrare, sheltered from her new found sexuality. I saw this film when I was in 8th grade and it has always held a special place in my heart. It was part of my growing up. I still remember it fondly. I remember that this film was rated "G" and there was quite a commotion made about that because of all the references to human sexuality that it contained. We have sure come a long way since this film was released. Lola Albright, Chad Everett and the beloved Ozzie Nelson were also in the cast. It was directed by Michael Gordon who directed some great 1960's era comedies such as "BOYS' NIGHT OUT," "PILLOW TALK," and "MOVE OVER, DARLING."

3.0 out of 5 stars A blast from the past!, February 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Impossible Years [VHS] (VHS Tape)

You must be a baby boomer, who remembers the 1960's with a sense of humor rather than a sense of despair. This is a light-hearted look at teen-raising (or rather lack of it.) Although this movie was torn to shreds by critics, it brings back memories of the less serious side of the 60's, and the wonder of growing up. It serves to remind us that, while we are now older, we are indeed wiser.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Movie Ever - Highly Underrated!, July 14, 2000

By 

Lisa D. Gordon (Birdsboro, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Impossible Years [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this movie as a young child, and I laughed myself silly. But unlike most movies I enjoyed as a child, this one only gets better with age. I can recite many of the lines, but each time I hear them, I laugh again. My family all agrees this movie is a classic and not to be missed. If you need a break from all the seriousness and bad news in the world, this is a great "escape" movie.
