Genre: Comedy / Drama
Directed by: Kevin Pollack
Cast: Johnny Simmons, Maria Bello, Brittany Snow
Time: 90 minutes
Inspired by journalist Ken Baker’s
autobiographical memoirs, The Late Bloomer tells the story of Dr. Peter
Newmans, a 27-year-old sex therapist who has remained a virgin all his life. As
he ends up in the hospital after an accident on the basketball field, he finds
out that a small tumor in his brain has been impeding on his normal growth from
boy to man. Getting this fixed plunges him in the difficult hands of puberty,
which complicates his relationship with his neighbor Michelle, a woman he has
befriended and been secretly pursuing for years.
This film was bashed by critics
and reviewers, but I found it amusing. Sure, most of it was silly, but the
actors, many of which are talented folks, managed to squeeze some good out of
the little they were given. I was entertained.
