More Peer Pressure

Rating: 7/10 (20 October 2003)

It's pretty good, with some draggy spots and the predictable outcome. It would be a good film for family night (WARNING: some swearing, slight violence) with teens/pre-teens, as it would give you a good starting point to talk about peer pressure and the junk that can go on in schools. Beaufort was a lovely background for the film. I'm surprised that more filmmakers do not use the Carolina coast more often.
One "goof" in the film was the post-date trip to the Virgina border. The movie implied that they did that the same night of the first date, but for them to just reach the border would take at least 2 hours (or longer) ONE WAY. I don't think the Reverend would have been too pleased to have his daughter back home after 2 am.
