    Cheerful Romantic Pentangle
    "About Adam" is a cheerful pentangle, helped along by a charming young cast, unpredictable quirkiness and Irish blarney.

    Kate Hudson, in what was her first film role, shows off her Mom's smile to good effect.

    Frances O'Connor is atypically frenzied. And so on.

    All inspired by a lovable, enigmatic rogue whose sensuality turns on at least three sisters and a brother.

    The song choices are surprisingly conservative traditional pop, culminating effectively in Peggy Lee.
