A sweet college girl (Allison Smith) is raped by a chauvinistic frat brat (Jay Underwood), subsequently she fights for justice; but in doing so, she loses her boyfriend and friends, and faces the skepticism of the student body and staff.
Sincere but superficial handling of an important, pressing social problem: date rape, and the boundaries in which it lies. Film is done in by its predictability and stereotypical characterizations.
**1/2 out of ****.
