ok no not really, but this is an intresting take on the whole social guidance genre, this film features no narrator which is actually a plus as it conveys the information soley through the two characters dialouge between each other. I heard a lot of these films were thrown out once videotapes came along, as most teachers were embarassed by these films, I hope they weren't embarassed by this film this is really well done and could even still be used today. It loses points for not having any camp value to it though.
