afterschool special that is exactly that
29 April 2015
Jessie Brenner (Sara Paxton) is a shy track athlete and the first college student in her family. Her loving mother (Nancy Travis) is a single widow. Shanna (Chelsea Hobbs) is her new roommate. She joins Shanna's party life gaining confidence with alcohol. She is befriended by straight-arrow musician Colin. Shanna introduces her to hunky Keith who she loses her virginity to on the first date. It turns out that he has other girls. Her academics and track suffer. She's avoiding her mother until she visits. Shanna convinces her to party in San Diego where she joins a wet T-shirt contest. Her flashing gets on the internet and even her little sister Sadie is affected.

These kinds of movies used to be called afterschool specials. The writing is very broad and somewhat bland. The narration is bad. Everything is done without subtlety. Nevertheless, the movie is exactly what it was always suppose to be. Sara Paxton is a charming enough lead. It could be a lot worst.
