Movie #3196 "Somewhere in Queens' (hulu, amazon prime) This is a good movie about raising kids and the dynamics in a family. A boy who has been shy all his life, and fearful of most everything, happens to be good in basketball and tries out for the team. He seems to come alive on the basketball court, and being a popular sports kid, he gets a girlfriend. But when he faces a tough try out for college teams and his girlfriend breaks up with him, his parents worry about his fragility and try to fix the situation. But the film and the characters are far more complex than what this storyline suggests, and that and the expert acting on Laurie Metcalf's part , really makes the film a step up from other films that take a similar story line. I'd give the a 4 and recommend it.
