Semi-realistic portrayal of teen life with a group of believable actors telling the story. The collection of odd characters reminded me of my high school class. Anyone can relate to these kids. We may not go as far as they did, but if it were this bad, I believe we could possibly turn to this action. One example of something that could have pushed me to vandalism is the cheesy "scholastic" film the principal makes the students watch in the auditorium. The makers of the film made this film look bad on purpose (like the old drivers ed. films) and if I had to sit through it, I'd have trashed the school right then. Look for Matt Dillon (a very young Matt Dillon) as the "bad-ass". Pamela Ludwig is the "turn-on" and does a great dance to Cheap Trick's "Surrender". Worth watching once, maybe twice.
