Review
A classic among the social guidance films, we follow the rebellious Steve as he stays out late at night, much to the chagrin of his parents. Pop wants to punish him, Mom says he'll apologize just like the nice boy he is. When he doesn't, and Steve does it again, Dad lays down the law, and grounds him and takes away his allowance. This prevents Steve from attending the school dance of course, and Steve makes a lame excuse to his friends to save face. Then Steve is even more distant from his parents because he's grounded. Who is to blame here? Well, of course that's up to you to decide, but it's hard not to label Steve as a whiney snot since he's ever so butch to his friends about not taking any flack from his parents, yet whines and takes his parents punishment withour saying anything, and keeps the grounding from his friends. A MUST SEE on this site!
