I surveyed some reviews on here -- only 27 user reviews, which seems really low -- and some of the comments mention: insipid, banal, sitcom comedy. All absolutely spot.
It's one of those dishonest 80s movies like "Can't Buy Me Love" that is just a sequence of cliches. There isn't a milligram of original or fresh content/ideas.
Is her boyfriend Dana Ashbrook? Too lazy to look it up but it looks like him. Legend -- Twin Peaks and Waxwork I know him from mostly.
I'm watching the film right now and I'm 47 minutes in, the scene where they go to the coffee shop and get into a drag race confrontation with the high school bullies. The cliches just go on and on and on! Hysterical.
Did want mention that I actually like the idea of a character that is "father that is fearful -- but meets his daughter, her boyfriend, and other teens at their level". That would be cool if they did it with an authentic, genuine approach but since this movie can't transcend the cliche level they keep it at that level rather than for going original. Does that make sense?
