...cover a lot of new ground. On the whole, the best moments of A Language of Their Own come not when the characters elegize to the audience over the successes and failures of communication with each other, but when they literally establish (and at times destroy) an intimate and mutual working language...

Instead they got properly engaged and called their parents. Daly, beloved by teen girls as host of MTV's Total Request Live, is notable for an adolescent flirtation with the priesthood, a deep affection for golf and a previous involvement with Jennifer Love Hewitt.
