Storyline
A waitress meets personable, attractive Adam and they soon become lovers, then get engaged. Wasting no time, Adam starts an affair with her bookish sister, who knows about the first relationship. Their (none-too-happily) married third sister knows about both these liaisons but is still attracted to Adam. The lad is certainly playing the field, but in their own ways the girls seem to be getting just as much out of the deal as him. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

"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.
