My First Mister
“Mismatched. Misguided. Unmistakably friends.”
Leelee Sobieski is brash, abrasive and vulnerable as a teenage child of divorce who hides her pain behind a mask of hard-edged gothic rebellion. Albert Brooks plays a man who is her total opposite, a precise and well-ordered menswear store owner of forty-nine who manages limited expectations and protects lonely secrets with pleasant ritual and quiet, ironic reserve. These two total opposites collide in conflict then come together in a surprising alliance, changing each other's lives forever.
A darkly funny, yet tender exploration of teenage alienation and unexpected connection. It feels like a quiet, introspective journey through adolescent angst, punctuated by sharp dialogue and a unique, offbeat sensibility.
