“What The Night Can Do” (** out of four) was a maudlin melodrama about a 12-year old girl (Peyton Kennedy) who is on the cusp of adolescence and trying to find her identity but is surrounded by an onslaught of family problems (Stuart Margolin, JoBeth Williams, Mercedes Mason, and others) that challenge her every step of the way. Heavy-handed coming-of-age story changes moods and directions often and has some sporadically effective moments thrown into the mix but has no real story to tell. John Rotan’s vibrant cinematography and Margolin and J.A.C. Redford’s moving music score are definite plusses but can’t compensate for film’s pedestrian script and storytelling.
