The year is 1976,and Vivian Abramowitz (Natasha lyonne)is on the brink of womanhood.But she has more to deal with than her budding bra size.Her dad (Alan Arkin) is broke,her mother is gone,and the family is always moving from one shabby apartment to the next,trying to stay in the Beverly Hills High school district.When Rita (Marisa Tomei),Vivian's wild cousin,enters the picture (after being realeased from rehab),Vivian finally feels she has a fellow bra-wearing friend.Don't let this coming of age premise fool you.This is not a breezy film,but if you're in the mood for a serious look at dysfunction,this family's mysteries will capture your imagination.
