Review of My First Mister (2001) by Danita S — 17 May 2009
Flixter's synopsis seems completely wrong to me. It's actually about a girl who's family is falling apart and, after the death of her much loved grandmother, turns to a goth-chick rebellion complete with slightly-pretentious self-depreciative poetry.
She is aware of her mother's feigned happiness with her new stepfather and consequently makes cries for attention. She eventually turns to shoplifting from her own place of work and thus loses her job.
In looking for a new job, she meets a very uptight older man who initially loathes her and fears the teenage goth chick she appears to be. They befriend each other and introduce each other to each other's worlds.
By the end of the film, he is less uptight and she turns full circle on her rebellious ways and frustrating negativity. The quite funny moment is near the end when she meets the old man's forgotten son and instantly takes a dislike to him for his frustrating negativity, seemingly oblivious to the fact that his attitude is exactly like hers was at the start of the film.
