CrissCross
The Eden House, featured in the movie, is a real hotel, and is the oldest hotel in Key West. Built in 1924 as the Gibson Hotel, it was purchased in 1975 by titular owner, Mike Eden. According to Mr. Eden, on the hotel's web site: "The movie CrissCross (1992) starring Goldie Hawn was filmed at the Eden House for five months over the summer of 1990. Scott Sommer wrote the short story CrissCross while staying at the Eden House in early 1976." The Eden House is still in business and has been totally renovated since the movie.,A shot of a boatyard shows several 1980s outboard motors.,Chris Cross: How come you don't got somebody?

By arrangement with Warner Special Products,Slow paced as mentioned in another comment like a sleepy summer afternoon, the depiction of life in Key West in the late 60's rings true. It isn't polished and glitzy or glamorous. You can see this play out in your life or the life of friends.

the film centers around young David Arnott in the title role. The awkwardness and naturalism works in making it more real.

If you are looking for whizbang Hollywood value type of action here, this isn't the place. what you get is a true to life drama that can happen anywhere, at any place. David's moral choices are based on how he sees things as a real kid.

As a movie, it works well.,
