It's been a while since I've seen a Social Seminar film! Always really enjoy them getting into the lives of teenagers. Here we have Brian, a (unbeknowenst to him) bright kid who nevertheless finds school boring and therefore his grades suffer. Lots of interesting things at work here, No Dad in the house, his Mom seems to be caught in the 60s, and lets Brian do whatever he wants, which is nice, but obviously Brian does need something else, especially when he knows he can have a bright future, he just needs someone to fix his brain to get his path straight. Highly reccomended!
