About as Centron as Crawley ever got. " Meeting the needs of adolescence" certainly is a step away from the doom and gloom relationship based films they usually put out. The two teenagers showcased here, all pretty normal actually. They have the usual questions other teenagers have about growing up. Their parents a surprisingly liberal minded in terms of letting the teenagers do what they want to do. The best scene in the preparation for the party: records! Dancing! Horseplay! Oh my!
