1991 film by Peter Sellars

A black man plays Uncle Tom in order to gain access to CIA training, then uses that knowledge to plot a new American Revolution.

The 12 years old well-bred Lonnie meets the impudent Karen on the street. They spend some time together and Karen teaches Lonnie some of her favorite occupancies, like make-up, shoplifting, skipping school and lying to the parent about it, but confessing to the priest later. But Karen also learns some honesty from Lonnie. A film about social differences and growing up.

Driven to maintain social order, policing in the United States has exploded in scope and scale over hundreds of years. Now, American policing embodies one word: power.

15岁的奥斯卡(艾伦史丹佛饰)既早熟又善体人意，他说流利法文、还勤读伏尔泰，所有同年纪的女生都哈他，不过，他却偏偏只甲意“老女人”。这个假期，他即将跨出他“转大人”的第一步，诱惑他心爱的女人上勾，而这对象不是别人，正是他的小妈---伊芙(雪歌妮薇佛饰)。然而，天不从人愿，奥斯卡还没钓到伊芙却先煞到一群高龄欲女，伊芙的姊妹淘黛安。 15岁的Oscar，聪明好学。他不满同龄女孩的浅薄，爱上了成熟又有学问的女性——他的继母Eve，而他的教授父亲对此一无所知。他想在感恩节之夜对继母表白，却又难以开口，醉醺醺地跟继母的密友Diane上了床，失了童贞。父亲慈爱的关心、Diane的纠缠和Oscar对继母的纯真爱情，构成了本片的喜剧元素。情节有些荒唐，但正象电影中Diane对Eve所说的：你还记得我们15岁的时候是如何梦想的吗？
