The swell school district isn't worth what living in the slums of Beverly Hills entails: decamping from sleazy apartments at night to avoid the rent, taking in a crazy cousin (Marisa Tomei) in hopes her father will support the Abramowitzes in a style to which they're unaccustomed. There's farce in Jenkins' reflections on her adolescence. But there's also a tough-tender authenticity in her film that sets it poignantly apart from most coming-of-age comedies...
