A surprisingly engaging story of puppy love and friendship in a teen setting, this film focuses on the title character (Corey Haim), who is nerdy but winningly outgoing. He falls madly for a new girl in town (Kerri Green); since school is out for the summer, he becomes her only friend--until she meets his hunky pal (Charlie Sheen).

This is a totally unremarkable low-budget movie. It has 17-and-up actors portraying 14-16 year olds, the main females of which get pregnant. Competent acting but hardly memorable. First-time directing by Kerri Green (the major girl in "Lucas"), so there is nothing special here. The music was OK, maybe even better than other music-heavy movies, though I'd never choose to listen to any of it. I'm giving it a generous three for effort. It might have been more meaningful to me if I was A) female, or b) pregnant.
Incidentally, I've had more than 400 DVD's and this was the first with no security strip on the package - something to think about.
No DVD extras whatsover, making it a bit over-priced. More Info About This DVD Director(s): Kerri Green DVD Release Date: Released the 25 November 2003 Usually ships within 24 hours
