Movie Description
A student invites her runaway friend to move into her house while her father is away only to find that the platonic arrangement crimps her budding relationship with a swellheaded high-school hero. An unusual and refreshing "teenpix" comedy that subverts many of that subgenre's conventions: the heroine is bright and ambitious, the absence of a parent doesn't result in kegger parties, and the big man on campus doesn't necessarily save the day. Winner of an award for Special Recognition in the Genre of Youth Comedy at the Sundance Film Festival.
Synopsis
"Seven Minutes in Heaven" is a touching comedy about love, sex, and how to be a teenager.
After making out with baseball star Zoo Knudsen, Polly decides he's the man to take her virginity -- so she chases him from Ohio all the way to New York. Meanwhile, her best friend Natalie has simpler dreams: she wants to get into the right college... and become President of the United States.
But in the meantime, she has to deal with some-day-to day problems. Her schoolmate Jeff has just gotten fed up with his parents, so he ran away from home and moved in with Natalie. Of course, all the kids in school now assume that Jeff and Natalie are "doing it."
Sometimes it's very hard to be fifteen...

Industry Reviews
"...Modestly charming....[Connelly is] gorgeous here and quite believable to boot..."
Variety - Cart. (01/29/1986)
"...This sensitively performed, very special comedy is by film makers whose memory of those perilous days of high school, where no emotion is a small one, is tender and acute..."
