Review
Johnny, one of the leaders in a gang that is against anything and everything breaks into the livrary to study (?) and also to protect the library from the hooligans when they arrive. This already doesn't make sense. When his great-great-great etc Grandfather arrives and starts chewing out Johnny for what has gone wrong in this country, and then his History teacher comes in and joins him in the philosphical beat down of Johnny, you'll realize that this is one big pile of 70's hoohah of blaming everything on everyone (both sides arguements). WHile just the 3 (actually 2) actor in one setting might get a littl boring for some, I found the whole piece rather funny in some places (Religion is the answer!) and high-handed in others (It's the dirty movies that corrupting our youth!) Reccomended viewing!
