When it comes to movies about girls growing up, NOW AND THEN pretty much kicks the sisterhood in their traveling pants. When I first saw this film in 1995, I was instantly transported back to the best summer I never had. Riding bikes! Playing Red Rover! Holding seances in the graveyard! Communicating late at night via a complicated system of flashlights and walkie talkies! Stealing boys' underwear! This is the stuff that girlie adolescent dreams are made of (except for the whole taping boobs thing. Um, Roberta, you're LUCKY! Embrace your cleavage!). Frankly, I could care less about the "grown-up" portions of the film (Christina Ricci turns into Rosie O'Donnell? Seriously?!) because the magic of NOW AND THEN isn't about being an adult or being a kid. It's about that awkward, amazing, in between time, when boys are gross but also kind of cute, when parents turn out to be human, when friendships feel like they will last forever. Join me in March for a nostalgic evening with Roberta, Teeny, Sam and Chrissy as Girlie Night travels back to the groovetastic summer of 1970. We'll dodge Jell-o balloons, sing along to "Sugar, Sugar," learn life lessons from Crazy Pete and Hippie Brendan Fraser and swoon when Scott finally kisses Roberta - SIGH! (Sarah Pitre)
