Redefines the meaning of "lame"

Avoid at all costs. Poor, American TV movie writing. Checked-shirts, jeans and guitar music with some consumer- necessary and plot-irrelevant pseudo-sex scenes.

If I had the original recording of this movie, I would incinerate it. I implore the owners of this film to BURN, BURN, BURN. Start here and move on to other greats like "A.P.E.X.".
