A darkly funny look at that painful period in growing up known as adolescence, writer/director Todd Solondz's acclaimed film follows the hellish life of Dawn Weiner (Heather Matarazzo), a gawky, bespectacled, and bucktoothed 11-year-old trying to cope with parents who don't understand her, a crush on her older brother's friend, and classmates who call her "Weinerdog." Victoria Davis, Eric Mabius, Brendan Sexton III, and Matthew Faber also star. 88 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; theatrical trailer.
