An American Affair: Directed by William Olsson. With Gretchen Mol, James Rebhorn, Cameron Bright, Mark Pellegrino. In 1963, during the swirl of glamour and intrigue that turned President John F. Kennedy’s Washington into Camelot, a lonely 13-year-old Catholic school boy comes of age.

“Itu0026#39;s my own fault – I suppose I should have read the description better when I picked this out. Kennedy – pretty girl – CIA – suspense. No. Itu0026#39;s a pubescent boy – sweaty and horny. I think the appeal of u0026quot;coming of ageu0026quot; movies about teenage boys must be limited to the grown up teenage boys who make them. Seriously – who wants to watch a movie about a boy peeping at his neighbor and masturbating in the bathroom? What does that have to do with Kennedy and the pretty girl and the CIA?”
