By Eric R. Nalley Rebellion is a popular topic for teen movies to be based on. From the 1950 s to present day, most teen films have been about this topic.
Rebellion really captures how teens feel and think.
Many of us rebel in order to get what we want and need to grow up and mature. This was a good movie to illustrate that point and it did it very well. Jim, the main character, rebels against his family. Next you have his mother. She uses him as an excuse for her not to deal with her own problems.
