At first glance, I thought this movie merely to portray another 50s suburban reality fit with all the typical cliches. Fortunately, I was mistaken. It did not take long into the movie to realize that this is not one's normal story.... Full review

However, the resulting story makes for a pleasant, intelligent, moving film, that can either be viewed at face value or for its thought-provoking insights and social commentary.
Watch for film great Don Ameche in a poignant role as Grandpa Harry.

There's a lot I liked in the film, including the intelligence of some of the dialogue, but ``Corrina, Corrina'' seemed to be trying to do both too much, and too little.
Those scenes seem almost pro forma; there's no real emotional confrontation over the subject, and indeed the whole movie seems kind of muted.
