AMERICAN TEEN




Documentary

FEATURING
Megan Krizmanich: student council Vice President
Colin Clemens: star basketball star
Hannah Bailey: guitarist with an alt rock band
Jake Tusing: self-proclaimed "supergeek”
Mitch Reinholt: the cool good looking all-round athlete

REVIEW
Following five individuals and their friends through their high school senior year just barely meets the criteria as a documentary. In fact it is more like a “reality-type” television show that has become so popular of late.

There is nothing new here as the subjects chosen clearly represent a cross-section of middle income students all of whom are appropriately labelled on the film’s website: Princess, Jock, Rebel, Heartthrob and Geek

Mildly entertaining but hardly worth the effort to go see it.

CLASSIFICATION
for some strong language, sexual material, some drinking and brief smoking, all involving teenagers.
