Another incorrect use of teen jargon: any phrase using "suck", such as "this sucks" or "this sucks the big one" was not used in the 70s. This became popular much later.… Expand

A decent film that deserves more attention
I think that this movie was a wonderful film that addresses some very real life situations in the most beautiful ways. It's dark humor is perfect to make some of the subject matter easier to handle. This is a serious comedy that pulls off melodrama in an amazing way. One that people should look at more. It is very underrated.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alternate versions

The video version features an alternate ending which was cut from the final print. The ending, which takes place after the graduation conmencement, features Jane Weston and Jackie Dunphy instead of Mr. Dunphy and Jackie meeting Tim outside the auditorum where she thanks him for helping her get into Brown University. They kiss which is interupted by Mr. Funderberk who yells at them for making a public scene and Tim responds by punching Mr. Funderberk in the face, to the delight of his friends standing nearby. Tim and Jane stroll off, pushing Jackie in his wheelchair, as Tim contemplates his future.… Expand

This film lacks energy. Was uninterested in it throughout most of the movie. It's not like the actors were "miscast", though, according to the critics. I think they did a decent job playing their characters; I like Alec Baldwin's characterThis film lacks energy. Was uninterested in it throughout most of the movie. It's not like the actors were "miscast", though, according to the critics. I think they did a decent job playing their characters; I like Alec Baldwin's character the most, due to him calling the teen **** a lot. A very weird reason but I loved that.… Expand
