Lets face it, we're all suckers for nostalgia, and on that score, I'm an industrial strength Tootsie Pop. You know, the root-beer flavored one with the chewy glob of chocolate in the middle. I remember when I was a little kid and nothing tasted better on a summer day than one of those suckers stuck in the side of my cheek. But I digress, which, come to think of it, is what nostalgia is all about. It's also the meat of Jean Shepherd's "Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss," a Disney Channel movie that will be presented from 6 to 7:30 p.m. tomorrow on the pay-cable channel. "Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss" may be a dumb title but it's a cute movie. It stars a fine cast of James Sikking, Dorothy Lyman, Jerry O'Connell and Jason Clarke Adams in a wistful, yet chaotic drive down memory lane. With the possible exception of Mark Twain, few other writers have lifted as much material from their youth as Jean Shepherd, who grew up in Hammond. He has been churning out his childhood memoirs ever since. "Ollie Hopnoodle's" is an autobiographical satire of Shepherd's recollections of the annual family two-week vacation to a fishing camp called Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss. There, families could rent a cabin named after one of the Dionne quintuplets. O'Connell, who you might remember as Vern in "Stand By Me," stars as young Ralph, a 14-year-old who dreams of getting his first summer job. Well, he actually dreams of the untold wealth he expects from his first summer job. Sikking, is his old man, a classic, middle-class working stiff who spends 50 weeks a year in toil for those two marvelous weeks of vacation. Lyman is Ralph's mom, and Adams is his younger brother, Randy, who has honed whining and crying to an art form. Shepherd has a brief role as Mr. Scott, the sadistic furniture owner and Ralph's first employer. And even Shepherd's dog, Daphne, has a major supporting role as the family hound, Fuzzhead. One of the marks of a great humorist is that he never loses the ability to see the world through a child's eyes. That always has been one of Shepherd's great strengths, and it's showcased in "Ollie Hopnoodle's," which is told through the character of young Ralph. What begins as a grand adventure into the world of the working man for Ralph turns into a nightmare. The brutal Mr. Scott treats Ralph and his friends as if they were galley slaves. And when Fuzzhead disappears, it looks like the family vacation will he put off because mom refuses to leave without the pooch. Eventually, everything works out and the family heads to Ollie Hopnoodle's in an overloaded, strained-to-the-shocks old Chevy. The trip is one crisis after another, from getting lost, to flat tires, to the constant whining from Randy in the back seat. "Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss" isn't about any one thing. It's about the fabric of middle-class family life in an age when being a teenager meant a time of innocence and fun, rather than dealing crack in school hallways, unwed 14-year old mothers and teachers' strikes. It is about a time when Dad could have a smoke and drink a beer in the sanctity of his own kitchen without feeling guilty for corrupting his children. It's about a time when it was OK to smack your younger brother. Well, at least it was OK with you. At least once, and perhaps even more, during this film, you - will watch the exploits of this befuddled family trying to have a vacation and feel as if Shepherd has lifted a page from your life. Sikking, Lyman, Adams and O'Connell all turn in sweet, endearing, and at times, identifiably grating performances. "Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss" is a fat, sloppy slice-of-life movie that's not so much about the American dream, but about the great American two-week escape from reality-when the fish are biting and sun is warm and nothing works better for shutting up a cranky brother than a noogie on the head .
