Review of American Teen (2008) by Prestonmelbourne-W. — 25 Jul 2008

Though I am about to embark on my senior year, and this at times seemed more like watching a mirror than a movie screen, I found the film entertaining and well done. Some scenes seemed like they could have been staged, but all-in-all, it felt real.

Teens, coming from one, can be nasty, and this film is in no way shy about that. We can also be sweet, intelligent, and lovable, all aspects that are shown. I hope that this movie can get us teens a little more credit for what we're going through by reminding adults what a hellish time being in high school can be.

That being said, I recommend this film.
