Hell, I enjoyed it!

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2008)

There seem to be a lot of reviews of this film, prior to this one, that complain about the reality of a street-wise 16-year-old kid getting pregnant and not, apparently, using contraception. Well, for realities sake, it is possible for contraception not to work, for people to use it incorrectly, for condoms to burst etc. Believe me, I know a few intelligent girls/women who thought they were OK and then started growing! So, please don't let that spoil your view of the film.
Other reviews ask how a 16 year old, born in the 1990's can be so knowledgeable about 1970's punk. Duh! I have 15, 16 and 17 year old students who listen to the Beatles and the Doors, for crying out loud.
Hey, i liked the dialogue, often quite clever and witty, liked the performances and generally enjoyed the film.
I must point out that at no point did I see any headings or signs which said this was either a documentary or a world-changing epic. So maybe that's why I took it as a piece of entertainment.
