Rating: - Impossible Years
When I got the tape it was in perfect condition. It also came with a bag of popcorn for the entertainment! I was very happy with my purchase since this was a movie that my sisters and I saw a long time ago and from the heavens above(my dad) we were able to come up with the name of the movie. Thanks

THE IMPOSSIBLE YEARS is an interesting look at being a parent and a teenager in the late 1960s. On one hand you have David Niven playing a psychiatrist who is unable to understand the behavior of his oldest teenage daughter played by Cristina Ferrare. On the other hand you have Ferrare as a seemingly carefree adolescent starting out as the misunderstood teenage grub and in the final analysis emerging as the beautiful and free adult butterfly.

1968's "The Impossible Years" is a very stylish and chic comedy set in suburbia as the era of the innocent and carefree American lifestyle was coming to an end.

Rating: - Best Movie Ever - Highly Underrated!
I first saw this movie as a young child, and I laughed myself silly. But unlike most movies I enjoyed as a child, this one only gets better with age. I can recite many of the lines, but each time I hear them, I laugh again. My family all agrees this movie is a classic and not to be missed. If you need a break from all the seriousness and bad news in the world, this is a great "escape" movie.
Rating: - Feminine Fantasy
Oscar caliber screenplay? No. Mindless, happy ending escapism, yes! What every baby boomer teenage girl wanted: a "shrink" father who looked like David Niven and a "suitor" who looked like (a young) Chad Everett. I loved the repartee between the charachters the first time I saw this, 30 years ago, and I still do now.
