AS IS THE case with so many movies made by or for local municipalities, this one suffers from being so obviously amateur. Now we don't mean in its production values; but rather in the very reason that it was made.
JUST ABOUT ANY adolescent, be they female or (especially) male, is reluctant to recognize his adult mentors as knowing anything at all worth emulating. We need only look to the quotation from Mark Twain who said something like: "When I was 18 I couldn't believe how stupid my father was. When I reached 21, I was surprised to find out just how much the 'Old Man' had learned!" ALTHOUGH WE MAY seem to be just a trifle cynical, generally speaking*, the kids have to learn their life lessons on their own.
NOTE: * And this is a 5 Star ;general', Schultz!
