My First Mister

“Mismatched. Misguided. Unmistakably friends.”

Jennifer (Leelee Sobieski) is a teenager with dark clothes and a hard mouth, her parents' divorce hidden behind a gothic scowl. She walks into the menswear shop run by Randall (Albert Brooks), a precise, orderly man of forty-nine who keeps his loneliness quiet and his days in ritual. Christine Lahti, in her first feature as director, lets the two of them collide and settle into an odd alliance.
