Start to finish, [the film] makes absolutely no sense.

An earnest, fictional coming-of-age story is squeezed from a bitter, true-life local tragedy. And it works. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- gets in its own way by not knowing what kind of story it's telling, and by not knowing whose story it's telling Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Out of its mind at a deep, essential level, An American Affair plays its dubious scenario with a straight face that makes the silly thing quite watchable.

Turns out An American Affair needed more than a name change to save itself from embarrassment.

Rating: 1.5/4 -- The title sums up the bland, unimaginative and cliche-laden thriller/coming-of-age tale. Full Review

Product Description:

Set in 1963 in Washington, D.C., AN AMERICAN AFFAIR begins in the time before John F. Kennedy’s shocking assassination. Blonde bombshell Catherine Caswell (Gretchen Mol, 3:10 TO YUMA) looks just like the President’s type, and the woman is reputed to be more than just a close friend of the world leader. With his growing hormones, Catherine's neighbor, 13-year-old Adam Stafford (Cameron Bright, BIRTH), can’t help but notice her too. Soon his attraction brings him uncomfortably close to the object of his affection, and the unlikely pair bonds just as events are about to reach a fever pitch. This intrigue-filled drama also stars Noah Wyle (ER), Perrey Reeves (ENTOURAGE), and James Rebhorn (THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY).
