I must admit, before seeing this flick, I had never seen a movie where the producers left in multiple messed-up lines! Yes, it's true...it happens at least four times in this here movie! Dialogue where the actors very clearly mess up, and then correct, their lines. I guess they were really pressed for a deadline?
I found this movie recently on VHS. I purchased it mainly because of the fact that Estelle Getty is in it. While it was neat to see her in something from this time period, the small role that she had as a teacher was not very well written and didn't provide her with much room to showcase her talent.
The premise of the story is a good one, but the way the plot unfolds is inconsistent and unconvincing. And a lot of the acting is very weak. Thus, I would ONLY recommend this if you have a penchant for bad movies and getting a laugh out of how bad they are (I do, and that's part of why I give this movie even three stars -- in addition to the fact that Estelle Getty is in it!).
