| My review:- |
| The first thing to say is that if I hadn't known Sabrina was in it I might not even have noticed her. Blink and you'll miss her. Why they bothered to give the character a name I don't know. Still, I've seen it so I'm gonna review it. |
|
| I have to say that I don't think the film has much to commend it. By far the best bits are those featuring young Eliza Dushku as Alice. Particularly good are the scenes with her and her friends which have some quite nice "Wonder Years" moments. |
|
| But the rest of it is fairly predictable. Juliette Lewis is ok as the good girl gone bad but the "12" rating means that she can't give the role the sexual charge it needs. And I'm afraid that C. Thomas Howell is not very convincing as the "Rebel Without a Cause" type. |
