Description
In the 1993 film version of Neil Simon's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, 15-year-old Jay (Brad Stoll) and 13-year-old Arty (Mike Damus) are sent to live with their grandmother in Yonkers when their widowed father heads South to work during World War II. Grandma (Irene Worth), a dour and formidable tyrant, presides over the upstairs apartment above her candy store, where the boys join their wacky, movie-loving and slightly slow Aunt Bella (Mercedes Ruehl) and occasional visitor Uncle Louie (Richard Dreyfuss), a small-time gangster. Gradually the boys learn how to cope with Grandma and their new surroundings, but their most important lessons are provided by observing their partner-in-crime Bella as she tries to assert her independence from Grandma by pursuing a relationship with movie usher Johnny (David Strathairn).
