CAROLYN’S THOUGHTS: This was kind of a generic high school movie. It was one of those movies where things built up awkwardly and painfully, but then resolved in a rushed way where everything just happened to get wrapped up in a nice little bow with little repercussions. It was not that realistic overall, but it was good for some laughs. It was fun seeing Jeffrey Tambor so young.
CLAIRE’S THOUGHTS: Exactly what it said it would be. 80’s style.
