(Grade, f Riding in Cars with Boys Directed By Penny Marshall Starring Drew Barrymore, Adam Garcia Columbia Pictures With a touching, well-acted screenplay, Riding in Cars with Boys will leave even harsh Drew Barrymore critics rightfully impressed. Based on the true life of author Beverly Donofrio, Riding portrays a young woman s unexpected change in life plans. Intelligent but misguided, Bev aspires to attend New York University and become a writer but finds herself in quite a different position. Barrymore, who portrays the leading role, is convinc ing as a 1960s smoking, drinking, boy-crazy teen who finds herself pregnant at the tender age of 15. Temporarily abandoning her original plan of graduating from college, Bev marries Ray, the drug-addicted father of her baby. Steve Zahn (Saving Silverman), who plays Bev’s husband, delivers superb depth in arguably the best supporting role of the movie. Together, Zahn and Barrymore balance beautifully — he with a soft heart and loser exterior, and she as a selfish, yet somehow charming, young mother. Though the film drags as it follows Donofrio from age 15 to age 35, it compensates with a good dose of Iropped its la; fith No. 3 ( a 5 brman in 199 “They are lams in the cc 3r quarterhac I's not going p there and 1 link we can c: urbest game A&VTs lat roduction car ! eek in Lubb< lasted their < pi ioto courtesy of Columbian® Mo the Texa: humor and dimensional characters.
