Coppola's style had healthy roots in the screwball comedies of the '30s, and the glorious performances litter the film with moments to treasure.
Time Out
Rating: 3/4 --
Significant as an early example of the developing talent of one of the most important (if not the most important) American directors of the 1970s.

TV Guide
Shot in an around New York, with both the bohemian Chelsea Hotel and the construction of Madison Square Garden as constant backdrops, it has impeccable counterculture credentials...
Uncut
[With] fantasy inserts, jump cuts, mixing actuality with dramatisation...

Rating: 3/4 --
It's clear Coppola had storytelling talent to burn, and this whimsically sweet movie is certainly one of the best Manhattan time capsules from that era.

Rating: C+ --
What elevates Coppola's coming-of-age comedy above the routine is the great supporting cast, headed by Geraldine Page in an Oscar-nominated turn as the smothering mom, Julie Harris, Rip Torn and others.

You're a Big Boy Now slides up and down the escalators of charm, wayward fancy, stabs at taking itself seriously, and exuberantly crisp and funny observation.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Bernard Chanticleer (Peter Kastner) is a very nice young man anxious to step out into the "adult world." His plan is to move out of his parents' Long Island house into an eighth-floor Greenwich Village walkup - and try to convince someone to share his new "liberated lifestyle" with him. You're a Big Boy Now was Francis Ford Coppola's UCLA Film School Master's thesis - and a hilarious, high-speed debut in film comedy for the future maker of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. Fresh off A Patch of Blue, Elizabeth Hartman bewitchingly plays the free spirit who tempts Bernard. Karen Black makes her own screen debut as the love object that lovesick Bernard overlooks and Geraldine Page nearly steals the show with her Academy Award-nominated performance as Bernard's possessive mother.
Product Description:
In this early comedy from filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, virginal 19-year-old Bernard Chanticleer (Peter Kastner) escapes his sheltered life with Mom and Dad (Geraldine Page and Rip Torn) and moves to a New York City rooming house. One night after work, Bernard meets a beautiful go-go dancer, Barbara Darling (Elizabeth Hartman). But his landlady, Miss Thing (Julie Harris), keeping a careful watch on Bernard for his mother, tries to thwart his independence. Coppola directs at a wacky, fun pace, and the music of the Lovin' Spoonful creates just the right 1960s tone.
