The CinePearl Take
Meatballs is a 1970s English film that blends coming-of-age and teen — expect growing up and finding one's place and adolescent hopes and awkward milestones. Ivan Reitman directs and the script comes from Harold Ramis. Russ Banham and Keith Knight are among the leads. Made in Canada, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1979, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 99 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
