Poor script and execution, 25 November 2004
10/10
Author: icemanalt from Australia

I am probably the most passionate person when it comes to teen movies - I absolutely love them. But this film flat out sucks! The dialogue is so clichéd and awkward, and the acting in general is quite poor. Again, I don't want to make generalisations about all the actors, as a couple (Troy Donahue and Jonathan Gorman to an extent) are actually passable in patches, but the film is a perfect example of the school of overacting. And what's with the dragging 3-minute music scene? Surely it could've been cut to 30 seconds... maybe it was a time filler, considering the film was barely 80 minutes.

My rating: 1/10 (the 1 is for the close-ups on Kim Anderson's bust!).

My take: Any aspiring screenwriters, watch this film... then walk away and completely do the opposite when penning your own piece. This film, if i serves for anything other than a sleeping pill as another gent alluded to, is the blueprint for how to NOT write and direct a film.
