Review
Highly guilt ridden film made to poo-poo the remote fact of going steady unless you're good and ready. Film seems to okay the idea that it's alright to play the field more and not to take the idea of going steady too seriously. This is one very strange film if you consider all the other films in the Coronet canon. (especially 'Are You Ready For Marriage?) which seems to preach the opposite. The leads, who somewhat look like Liev Schrieber and Ren¨¦e Zellweger, play the parts admirably, as the whole script is laughable. Especially the bit with the boy's parents on the couch. Highly Reccomended!!
