Eleven-year-old Lonnie (Sarah Boyd) feels stifled in her well-to-do family and finds a role model in older wrong-side-of-the-tracks girl Karen (Rainbow Harvest, MIRROR MIRROR). Neither girl really fits into the others world but they spend the summer bonding. Complicating matters are Lonnie's stuck-up parents, Karen's tough friends, and Lonnie's attraction to Karen's brother Johnny (Neill Barry, FATAL BEAUTY) who is attracted to sexy Carla (Roxanne Heart, HIGHLANDER) whom Karen thinks is sleeping with her father (Danny Aiello). A pre-WHO'S THE BOSS Alyssa Milano appears in her first role as Lonnie's kid sister. Produced for $650,000, OLD ENOUGH is the old fashioned "coming of age" tale about sexual awareness (couched within a story about stepping outside of your boundaries) rather than losing virginity. While it starts out like a well-budgeted eighties TV movie, it becomes interesting and moving. Award-winning cinematographer Michael Ballhaus' slick cinematography lacks a certain grittiness but there is some gorgeous low-key lighting that recalls Ballhaus' work on some of Fassbinder's films. Justifying Barry's above the title credit (alongside Boyd and Harvest) is the script giving his character some depth beyond just being yet another character who complicates Lonnie and Karen's friendship (while Johnny is flirting with Carla, Boyd on the commentary track observes how Silver shows each of the characters "out of their league" at some point). The film also offers a street-level portrait of pre-gentrified New York neighborhoods (quite a contrast to the image of New York given by THE COSBY SHOW to name a show from around that time) and eye-straining eighties fashions.
