Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCorey Haim's first day of shooting was with Peter Weller, and he went up to compliment the older actor on his performance. Weller collared Haim, throwing him up against a wall to warn him not to speak to him after a take, and it took three assistants to separate them. Haim later admitted that he was terrified by the experience, but Weller apparently was method acting, unaware by anybody else.
- GoofsWhile Sarah Jessica Parker and Christopher Collette are laying in the field drinking wine Sarah Jessica Parker accidentally hits the bottle into Christopher Collette's mouth while he's drinking.
Featured review
FIRSTBORN (1984) *** Teri Garr, Peter Weller, Christopher Collet, Corey Haim, Sarah Jessica Parker, Robert Downey, Jr. Absorbing story of a teenager facing his mother's sudden downward spiral thanks to a shifty loser (Weller in a nice turn). Good acting and an original sleeper.
