highly recommended

A bittersweet look at first love through the eyes of Alice, a precocious 10-year-old. Set in 1961, the film compares Alice's prosaic life to that of her glamorous, "fast" 16-year-old neighbor Sheryl.

Underrated

This movie use to be on t.v. when i was about 12 and I loved watching it. Juliette Lewis, who has been in many movies, is a great actress and is a bit forgotto at times, not to mention she lives in my town. I was driving with my dad one day and i looked to my right and there she was in her car at a traffic stop drinking a starbucks frappacinno and then she drove into this gated neighborhood where the richie's live. But anyway, young eliza dushku plays the little girl in this movie that looks up to lewis, and in such different times, lewis and howell are basically the talk of the town and neighborhood full of gossip and envy, and anger. It takes place in the 50's i believe and after being in the outsiders, once again c thomas howell is still in that time in this drama. It is a little depressing at times, because howell is obviously misunderstood as being a no good punk kid who knocks up his girlfriend and ditches her when that isn't the case at all and no one understands that they are in fact in love but they both realize that their youth is the main obsticle to have a successful long lasting life together raising their child. I don't think they have this movie for rent anymore anywhere. But it has always been underrated. It's a good example of teen pregnancy and i think that parents should watch it with their kids if they or out of control or just for entertainment.

DVD RELEASE PLEASE!!!!!!

This is a wonderful movie set in the 50's about a little girl who adores her neighbor who lives across the street. A GREAT movie that should be released on DVD so that everyone can enjoy.

Pleasant and nostalgic memories of THAT NIGHT

1961: JFK was in the White House,the "Red Scare" was on everyone's lips,Rock 'n' roll was on the transistors, The Beatles had not invaded from Britain yet and the country was hitting puberty and change,big change was in the air!

THAT NIGHT,which comes from the delightful Alice MacDermott novel views the country and all of it's pending metamorphosis through the eyes of ten year old Alice;she seems primed for the big changes that are about to occur in her as she lives vicariously through the exotic and near iconic 17 year old Sheryl.Sheryl (Juliette Lewis) has grown up in the perfect Catholic home,but she has fallen for a "greaser" (C.Thomas Howell).Alice (Eliza Dusku)becomes enamoured with the love affair and the ensuing drama that this "forbidden" relationship brings upon the fine people of this post 1950's suburban community.

THAT NIGHT recreates this time of innocence in American life when black and white was clearly defined;but when true love steps in,convention is rocked to it's foundation.For those of us who grew up in this Era,we will understand the nature of the story all too well and will wax nostalgically to the sounds of the time.The taboos of the time have largely disappeared from progressive society,but the story is ageless about the intense and nonsensical power of "first love." It is a coming of age story like many others before and after it, but there is a certain sweetness and gentleness that pervades this film.Best described,THAT NIGHT is a ten year old's rendering of ROMEO AND JULIET.

THAT NIGHT

THIS MOVIE IS GREAT! IT TELLS ABOUT ALOT OF IMPORTANT VIEWS. I LIKE WATCHING IT 2 A YEAR. BUT, I THINK JUST ABOUT EVERYONE CAN RELATE TO THIS MOVIE. A LITTLE YOUNG ROMANCE, WITH A NEIGHBOOR RIVAL!!

Rent it

This movie is cute, but you probably don't want to buy it unless
1) You're a teenage girl. Not saying that's a bad thing, mind you.
2) You're a big fan of this genre (coming of age, set in the late 50s-early 60s), or a Juliette Lewis fan.

Basic plot(s): 10-year old Ally is kind of a dork. Her friends are mean to her, and the neighborhood boys tease her, too. Ally lives across the street from teenage Catholic school girl Sheryl(Juliette Lewis). Ally idolizes Sheryl from afar, because she thinks she is so cool. Meanwhile Sheryl meets a "bad boy" and falls in love with him. It's a predictable story that goes back and forth between Ally and Sheryl, until they become friends.

It's not a terrible movie, just not the kind of movie you would watch more than once unless like I said, you're a young girl. Story has been done a million times. The acting is okay, but I personally have seen Juliette Lewis do better, a C. Thomas Howell isn't very good, actually. Both look way too old to be playing teenagers, but that's usually how it is. There is nothing spectacular about the score or the directing or anything like that.
