matinee (1993)


"You think grown-ups have it all figured out? That's just a hustle, kid. Grown-ups are making it up as they go along, just like you. You remember that, and you'll do fine."
Lawrence Woolsey (John Goodman) is a William Castle style moviemaker, who comes to a small Florida town, with his assistant Ruth (Cathy Moriarty), to preview his latest film Mant, during the Cuban Missile crisis. Determined to be there is Gene (Simon Fenton), a young horror fan, who has real life worries of his own, as his dad has been assigned to the naval blockade of Cuba.
A salute to the B-movie in this light but entertaining coming of age comedy.
