A Coming Of Age Film That Needed Something More.
29 June 1999
Inventing the Abbotts must get credit for developing its characters, especially two brothers who seem opposites of one another. It is set in the late 1950s and explores two teenage boys from a working class family trying to make time with the Abbott sisters. The girls father, a wealthy citizen of the town, is against the idea. Fine acting is over shadowed by a painfully slow story in spots. This is not a bad film and, if you don't mind the slow pace, you might enjoy it more than I did.
