      Polinsky: Has anyone ever told you about the birds and the bees?

      Lenny: [sarcastically] Yeah, we learned about it in biology. Bees sting and birds crap on your head.

    Little movie, big heart
    Alexander and Karp hit a home run with this sweetly sentimental little slice-of-life flick about a Bronx boy in the 50's when his hormones have kicked in and he finds himself preoccupied with sex. Merriman makes a solid centerpiece among some fine character actors and the much under-rated Gretchen Mol as our little hero learns lessons about life, love and...yeah, sex too. A cute, fun, and earnest little romp for anyone who can harken back to when sex was just one big question mark.
