Sweet story about an orphan’s quest for love and stability
Writer/Director John Hughes covered all bases (as usual) with this bitter-sweet “Sunday Afternoon” family movie. “Curly Sue” is a sweet, precocious orphan, cared for from infancy by “Bill”. The pair live off their wits as they travel the great US of A. Fate matches them with a “very pretty” yuppie lawyer, and the rest is predictable.Kids will love this film, as they can relate to the heroine, played by 9 year old Alisan Poter (who went on to be the “you go girl!” of Pepsi commercials). The character is supposed to be about 6 or 7, as she is urged to think about going to school. Some of her vocabulary suggests that she is every day of 9 or older.
Similar to “Home Alone”, there is plenty of slap-stick and little fists punching big fat chins. Again, this is “formula” film making, aimed at a young audience. Entertaining and heartwarming. Don’t look for any surprises, but be prepared to shed a tear or two.
Curly Sue
I’m not one of those people who think John Hughes could only do teen films in the mold of ‘Breakfast Club’ etc. There’s a lot of good to be found in his other works (‘Career Opportunities’, ‘Dutch’) etc, but ‘Curly Sue’ (his last film as a writer/director) falls a bit short.It has its moments, but didn’t do much for me. Compared to ‘Baby’s Day Out’ or ‘Just Visiting’ though it’s a masterpiece…
