Kris Kristofferson) is a caring man who offers a supportive relationship to the woman as well as a kind word for the youth. In his confused and addled adolescent state (which isn't helped any by his association with a local perverted youth) the boy plans a vengeful rite for his mother's beau. ~ All Movie Guide
