Editorial Reviews

I think it's probably impossible not to be charmed out of your socks by Junior High School" said film critic Roger Ebert. And I must admit I totally agree with him, which is not something I commonly do; simply put, you'd have to be a real scrooge not to find some sort of pleasure in this one. The plot is rather simply, has a boy (David Stewart) of about fourteen trying to summon up the courage to ask the school's prettiest girl (Karen Capelle) to attend a party with him. As his best friend (Kirk Burnett) gives him all sorts of advice on how to accomplish this, teachers, bullies and the class nerd (Mikal Robert Taylor) do much to get in the way. Somewhat oddly, this is a musical as well as a comedy/drama; it all works quite well, though, is really a lot of fun. The kids were all non-professional actors/actresses who attended Van Nuys Junior High in California. One of them happens to be the now famous pop singer Paula Abdul.
