Beverly and Ray get married, destroying her plans to move to New York and become a writer. It's a situation like this that gets Bev into trouble- knocked up by sweetly daft Ray (Steve Zahn), a simpleton pothead with a heart of gold, but an empty head. It's the late '50s, and adolescent life is all about riding around in convertibles with girlfriends, and making out in them with boys. Flash forward five years later and the sexually curious young Beverly has blossomed into sexually promiscuous teen Beverly (played from here on out by Drew Barrymore). It's Christmas time, and all young Bev wants is¿ a bra that will make her boobs look bigger. Bev Donofrio is around ten years old (played here by Mika Boorem), the daughter of a cop (James Woods) and an endlessly patient homemaker (Lorraine Bracco). Riding in Cars with Boys starts out in a Connecticut suburb, circa the early-1950s.
