196697 min6.1 / 10

A buoyant, playful coming-of-age comedy about a naive young man navigating love, independence, and self-discovery in 1960s New York City.

Naive library clerk Bernard Chanticleer moves out of his parents’ home and into a chaotic city full of eccentric landlords, meddling parents, and romantic missteps. Infatuated with a glamorous but manipulative go-go dancer, he learns through heartbreak—and the kindness of a steadfast admirer—what growing up really means.
