CGiii Comment

The sequel to The Year My Voice Broke...

What hideous things high school kids are...

Considering the packaging, it would be easy to think that this is a vehicle for Kidman - it's not.

This is the plight of Danny Embling - geeky kid who falls in love...aaaw.

Stuffed full of racist, pompous and, priggish attitudes...the repugnant traits of the time.

Beautifully composed with all the usual high school characters...a lovely film, in its own little way.
