The coach called practice when the team lost. Josh wants to be with his team even if it means cutting short his visit with Mom. The delicate letting-go stage of parenting has begun...
...simultaneously defines Pee-wee as a child and an adult. He has a fiancee, the sweet, prissy Winnie (Penelope Ann Miller). And when a traveling circus parks on his farm, he falls in lust with an aerialist named Gina (Valeria Golino). Pee-wee's first sexy screen kiss, with the voracious-mouthed Gina, will surely raise temperatures -- though, as Winnie notes sadly, it was inevitable. "You're a man. She's Italian." But what are we to make of Pee-wee's deflowering, symbolized by shots of fireworks, trains zooming into tunnels, spuming lava and mud wrestling? Is this evidence...

(pop. 2,011, right on the South Carolina border below Charlotte), Travis, with five brothers and sisters, got an earful of teen tunes, from Kiss to Clapton, Led Zep to ZZ Top. "My brothers and sisters, people I went to school with -- I mean all of them -- were definitely into rock 'n' roll. Sure, I heard it. I mean, if I was riding in a car with them, I didn't have...
