I enjoyed the film very much, although I did wonder throughout how the filmmaker was able to capture every key emotional scene so perfectly i.e. the moment one of the subjects receives a break-up text etc. It did seem rather scripted in that sense. The film's feel-good factor overrode any cynicism I may have felt when questioning the films authenticity as a veritable documentary: The "left boob" comment made me chuckle. The "I left a grease mark on the table because my face is greasy" comment made me laugh aloud. Some may accuse the film of reinforcing certain stereotypes, but from my limited experience of North American High School culture, those stereotypes are quite true and valid. The film was adept at progressing from 2D caricature portrayals of its subjects, to capturing them at their most vulnerable and subsequently exploding their cartoon images - of the jock, the nerd, the popular girl... A really good film overall - I would definitely recommend it. Fri, 6 Mar 2009 12:07:20 +0000 http://www.littlewhitelies.co.uk/articles/free-american-teen-screening-3574#IDComment16292632
