Hallee Hirsh stars in this romantic comedy as Kate a young girl who has turned 16 and has never been kissed. The movie centers around the ice-cream stand Kate works at along with friends, Darby, Rene, and Louise who is Kate’s boss, but also acts like a mother to her. Darby finds it hard to believe that Kate has never been kissed and is on a mission to find someone to kiss her by the end of the night. Behind Kate’s back Darby calls up everyone Kate knows and asks them if they know of any boys that Kate could kiss as she was turning 16 and had never been kissed. Darby is discovering her sexuality and seems to be free with it – she expects a little more of the same behavior from Kate which causes a little ruffle in the girls relationship.
Rene is a young, handsome friend who doesn’t seem to be very interested in Kate yet protective of her at the same time. Kate turns to Rene to ask him his opinion on any potential love interests that stop by the stand.
Louise is Kate’s boss and also acts as a motherly figure to both Darby and Kate who lost her mother to cancer when she was young. The portrayal of mother and daughter by Kate and Louise is touching. Louise seems like a very caring person, but she is sad, more than likely because she doesn’t have the relationship with her son that she would like to have.
The end of the movie brings learned lessons on the part of everyone and something Kate will probably never forget – her first kiss.
I would say overall, “16 To Life” is an enjoyable movie for all ages. Whether you are young or old everyone can relate to this movie probably in more ways than one.
I was at the premiere and it was hilarious. Not only was it hilarious, the theater was PACKED to the limits and beyond. If this film doesn’t get picked up for distribution, then it’s a sign that too many souls have been sold to the devil and the end is near.
Hi Christina. I have a 16-year old daughter who has yet to get her first kiss. I think this would be a fun movie for us to watch together.
Not that she looks exactly like her but Hallee Hirsh reminds me of Chloe Sevigny. This movie looks pretty funny.
Any movie about sexual angst is bound to be funny. My friend went to the premiere in Agoura Hills and said that it was great.
Oh I agree this movie looks really funny. I actually watched the whole trailer without even taking my eyes off of it. When does it come out?
I will watch anything with Theresa Russell in it, she is a great actress and among my favorites.
Hey Christina. I got your email right as I was leaving work so I just waited until I got home. I have a teenage sister who has also never been kissed (she is almost 18) so I think her and I should maybe watch it together as a sister thing. Thanks for sharing! Definitely looks worth watching
What a great cast I wouldn’t mind seeing this and I agree with who ever said Hallee Hirsh resembles Chloe Sevigny I think so too.
I agree with Vanessa I was totally into the trailer too Christina. Looks like a funny movie. I don’t know I would see it in theatre, but I will watch it.
everybody is in such a rush to grow up these days….ah to be 16 again…

It’s funny that a few of you should say that in regards to the similarity between Chloe Sevigny and Hallee Hirsh as I was thinking the same exact thing while watching the movie. I should note that my 7-year-old watched it as well and he enjoyed it too. I couldn’t believe that he actually sat there and watched it with me, but he did. It’s funny because he was sitting on the floor and his attention was taken away for a few seconds by our cat who was clawing at my bed. He was telling her no when he asked me “Is she about to get her first kiss?” and I said “yes, how did you know?” and he says “by the music” it was cute.
Movie looks good Christina. I love Theresa Russell’s acting especially when she plays the caring mother role she is so believable it makes me wish she was my mother.
finally Theresa Russell returns to the big screen! i love Theresa Russell, this movie looks hot!
Okay….I have to see this!! Looks like it will be hilarious!!!
hey i really do love it and im sorry i missed the premiere!damn its an awesome movie!=D

This movie looks so funny! Who ever is that guy who plays Kate’s kisser at the end omg he is yummy!
Sounds like a very interesting, fun premise for a teen movie. Trailer made me want to see it.
It looks like a cute movie, though I would probably see it on DVD.
@Adrienne Girl I know! His name is Will Rothhaar and he looks SO sexy in this movie!
Comes off as a female ‘Clerks’ and should get the lads going!
I would love to see this movie Christina. Kudos to the writer and director as well as the cast! The movie looks like something I will actually enjoy watching. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with Alexandra I would like to see this movie too. I love movies about teenage love its so innocent and sweet
That looks like a great movie!!! Will it be in theaters everywhere or only a select few?
It was good to see Theresa Russell in a movie again! I wonder where she’s been?

Why should I have to choose between a short life with romance, or a long one without? The long one without would be miserable, and if I had a wonderful romance with someone and my life was cut short, it would make it miserable for my partner. It’s not fair.
As far as never being kissed, or otherwise, by a certain age, I think that kind of thing should not be pressured. For those of us more “experienced”, imagine how wonderful it would have been for the love of your life to be your first kiss and love experience? It would be worth removing all memories of past bad experiences, in my opinion.

@Lisa You can click on Theresa Russell’s name up top in blue. That will take you to her IMDB page which will show you what she’s been working on. Same goes for the rest of the cast members.
Eeek with having a 14 year old son this entire thing is nothing less than terrifying.

I bet John.
This looks funny! When does it come out?
It’s funny how so many parents THINK their child hasn’t been kissed, and yet will find out at about 20 that they were kissed in Kindergarten. Though I didn’t really find much humor in this, I do think it would be a cute movie to watch. I think she didn’t quite appear innocent enough and the pig tails and the pink mini didn’t fool me enough into finding the adult humor in the innocents of a teen trying to break out of her shell. Though the realism in it was a bit off the edge, it still did appear to be a quite entertaining movie.

Looks like a funny movie. A lot better than some of that gory blood and gut stuff.

Characters looks pretty damn funny. Ahhhh….the memories it brings back. Looking forward to seeing the film!
Looks like a really good movie. Hope it comes to Nashville. If not, I’ll have to rent it on DVD. BTW…Hallee played Mark Green’s (Anthony Edwards) daughter on ER. She came back for an appearance on the series finale, as a medical student touring the hospital, in case anyone missed it.
Wow so glad I do not have a daughter.
looks funny! look forward to seeing it for sure!
Thank you for stopping in and commenting everyone!
This looks funny and real!! an offbeat cast is the best* would def watch this*****
This movie looks very interesting. When will it be out?
I really liked Hallee Hirsh from when she played Rachel Greene on ER.
OMG, I remember Halle Hirsh from ER. She is a great actress I cannot wait to see her in this movie!
it looks sooo cute…i love romantic movies…im just not shure about the cast.
MAN IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOVIE…THERESA RUSSELL IS SUCH A GOOD ACTRESS, SO IS HALLE HIRSH (FROM WHAT I’VE SEEN SO FAR SAW HER ON ER TOO)..I LOVE IT ALL READY
Theresa Russell does have that concerned mother act down pretty good I must say. I’d be interested in seeing this. Thanks for sharing Christina
Looks hilarious!
Looks really funny, I’m a movie addict, so will be looking forward to seeing it.
I watched the trailer and I really hope this movie comes to my town because it looks like it would be funny. Just the kind of movie I like to unwind with.
Blessings,
Misty
I agree with everyone else. This movie looks really funny. I’ll watch this! I don’t think my hubby will want to watch it though so maybe it’ll be a good excuse to have a girls night

Thanks for the great info Martha
I loved this film, I was to go to the little town where they shot it. SO quaint. I fell in LOVE with the characters immediately! Rene the cooke is my favorite I think, he was very funny and cute. AND how hilarious was the Russian chick. She is actually not even Russian at all, her name is Emily Foxler, great actress, she turned up the TV show based on the movie called “Crash”. Also the lead, Hallee was just on ER, she is a star on the rise for sure!! The music was great. They should put out a soundtrack!!!!
Thanks for telling me about this movie Christina, you are right, it looks really funny. I look forward to watching this

Life & Beauty Weekly: Expert Q+A
A: "This sort of kindness is rare, so it’s natural you’d want to reciprocate. But if you have offered to repay (or treat) her and she resists, there’s no need to insist on giving her money.
Also try not to feel bad that she always pays. Coffee isn’t a big expense, and it sounds like she enjoys treating you. She may do it because she appreciates your friendship or support at work. Or perhaps she likes having an excuse to get out of the office and doesn’t mind shelling out a few extra dollars for you. Regardless, just thank her each time she pays. Then, every once in a while, surprise her with a tin of cookies or muffins. Or once a month or so, tell her you are taking her out for lunch. "

Men’s Life Today: Expert Q+A
A: "There’s no easy answer as to why you get them. Ingrown hairs are more noticeable in men with really thick hair -- as ingrown hairs are more prevalent in people with thick hair -- or dark hair with light skin. However, there are a couple of key things you can do to heal them and prevent future outbreaks.
First of all, it helps to understand the evolution of an ingrown hair: After hair removal, as the hair starts growing back, the sharp tip of the hair curls back in on itself and digs into the skin, leading to inflammation and irritation. If you do get one, remember this mantra: Put down the tweezers. Plucking ingrown hairs invariably fails and causes additional irritation. Instead, try applying an over-the-counter cortisone cream to help relieve inflammation, then head to a laser dermatologist for laser hair removal (no, not removal of all your hair -- just the problem ones). Realistically, laser’s the only long-term solution for ingrown hairs.
Electrolysis isn’t practical because of the number and thickness of hairs involved. And as for waxing, well, remember the 40-year-old Virgin? Enough said."
