You’re a Big Boy Now (1966)

One of Francis Ford Coppola’s earlier works, You’re a Big Boy Now is ostensibly a comedy. While it is certainly light hearted, the comedy is completely absurd rather than bringing forth any actual laughs. Peter Kastner’s Bernard is a 19 year old virgin who still lives with his parents. When his father decides it’s time to leave the nest, he moves from Great Neck to Manhattan and tries to hook up with a former classmate and a sexy misandrist. The characters are one dimensional and the plot doesn’t go much further than that. There is a very cute Old English sheepdog named either Dog or Rover.
