 | | My First Mister," featuring terrific performances by LeeLee Sobieski and Albert Brooks, is a dandy little tearjerker that practically no one saw last fall in its original theatrical release. |
 | | Directed by Christine Lahti, "My First Mister" owes quite a bit more to "Harold and Maude" than Vladimir Nabokov or Larry Flynt, in that its script is more concerned with investigating the intricacies of an intimate friendship, however unlikely it may be, than eliciting a few cheap laughs from a May-December romance. |
 | | Yes, it does get overly sentimental towards the end, but Sobieski proves she can carry the weight of a lead role, while Brooks, as usual, is both funny and wise. |
