29 songs in the Soundtracks, some performed onscreen by cast members.

OK coming-of-age film, covering the latter part of senior year to driving off to college. During these months, DS becomes infatuated with SPF, beds him, he goes elsewhere to make music, eventually he grows to appreciate her, but college is the priority, so she leaves. The End.

The 2 principals are watchable, as are some others. The only familiar faces are her aging parents.

Rated 5.9 (2,529)
