Riding in Cars with Boys

Aroview: Based on the bestselling Me-generation memoir of Beverly D’Onofrio, this follows Drew Barrymore’s efforts to fulfill her dreams after a teenage-pregnancy puts her expected career on hold in the early 60s. Avoids Hollywood compromise, with an at times prickly honesty about Barrymore’s self-centreness, her ex-husband’s alcoholism, her father’s authoritarianism etc. Commendable acting from Steve Zahn, James Woods, Lorraine Bracco.
