Hilary as You’ve Never Seen Her Before!
First, this film is not for very young children. Hilary Duff does both producing and starring in this dark comedy about a 17 year old teenager, Greta, from New York City whose sent to exile for the summer with her grandparents played by Ellen Burstyn and Michael Murphy who are divine in their roles. Melissa Leo plays Greta’s mother but she’s not on long enough and it’s a shame because Duff, Leo, and Burstyn have some of their finest scenes together. Anyway, Greta is sent to live in Ocean Grove, New Jersey which is a seaside community and not far from the infamous Asbury Park which was crime ridden and left in ashes. Anyway, Greta gets a job at a restaurant. She is determined to end her life by 18 but things might change her point of view and it might be the best summer she ever had.
Easy enough viewing
Hillary Duff was a big deal when I was growing up, through her singing and various teen films. She hasn’t really made that transition to adult film actor, but films like this will go some way to that happening.It’s not a great film you understand, but it at least shows that Duff can play some serious moments, and this film is refreshingly different in terms of content and tone.
It’s not widely known, but is well worth watching.
