Four friends from childhood (Rita Wilson, Demi Moore, Rosie O'Donnell, and Melanie Griffith) recall how they helped each other face personal problems when they were 12 in 1970 suburbia. Director Lesli Linka Glatter casts a rosy glow over reminiscences of being on the cusp of adolescence but, with scant story and little character development, the result is a sweet but shallow salute to supportive female friendships. Fleeting nudity and some sexual references. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops classification of the theatrical version was A-III - adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating was PG-13 - parents are strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Sunday, Sept. 8, 8 p.m., WKOW (ABC) - "My Best Friend's Wedding" (1997). Dismayed that her longtime pal and former lover (Dermot Mulroney) is about to marry someone (Cameron Diaz) he just met, a restaurant critic (Julia Roberts) decides she wants him back and connives to stop the wedding. Director P.J. Hogan's muddled romantic triangle offers little more than a gooey confection of bogus emotions on beautiful faces. Some sexual references and a risque sight gag, a crude expression, and an instance of rough language. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops classification of the theatrical version was A-III - adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating was PG-13 - parents are strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Thursday, Sept. 12, 7 p.m., WMSN (Fox) - "Lost and Found" (1999). Wan comedy in which complications arise after a restaurant owner (David Spade) infatuated with a French cellist (Sophie Marceau) steals her dog in order to be the hero when he returns it. As directed by Jeff Pollack, the thin premise makes the comic antics seem little more than a stretched-out sitcom. A few crude sexual references, fleeting nudity, much toilet humor and an instance of profanity. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops classification of the theatrical version was A-III - adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating was PG-13 - parents are strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Thursday, Sept. 12, 9 p.m., WHA (PBS) - "Money." From the "Life 360" series, a look at what makes money such a primal force, explaining how people attempt to get it, hang onto it, and manage to lose it, as reported by Robert Krulwich.
