Short description

In the 1950s, brothers Jacey and Doug Holt, who come from the poorer side of their sleepy Midwestern town, vie for the affections of the wealthy, lovely Abbott sisters. Lady-killer Jacey alternates between Eleanor and Alice, wanting simply to break the hearts of rich young women. But sensitive Doug has a real romance with Pamela, which Jacey and the Abbott patriarch, Lloyd, both frown upon.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Joaquin Phoenix and Liv Tyler met on the set, and just like their characters, Phoenix and Tyler began a romance. They dated until November 1998.
  • Jennifer Connelly and Liv Tyler played sisters in "The Abbotts." In 2003, Connelly played Betty Ross in "Hulk" (2003), and Tyler played the same character in 2008 in "The Incredible Hulk."
  • A second Russian-language title for the film is "The Abbott Family."
