Review
Another strange film by Centron (the people who brought you the crackpot Cindy Goes To A Party). This film at first centers around Ray, who is the leader of the public speaking club. He is asked to train a new girl into the club. He does so. He does it so well as a matter of fact that she wins a school competition and Ray comes in second. Ray doesn't take this well. He aint talking to her anymore. He needs to be a good loser! (which was, coincidentally, brough up in Cindy Goes To A Party as well). The film is again poorly acted, with all the actors featuring interesting southern accents. The film ends with the audience deciding whether Ray is a good loser or something, as a HUGE question mark is superimposed smack on his head, to let the class figure out what to do. That whole effect made me giggle. Highly reccomended!
