This movie is a rehash of the themes we've all seen in genre flicks like The Breakfast Club - though don't knock this - the characters are believable, there is no pretentiousness - Hannah is great! Go see it.
Good qualitative type (!) documentary on the ups and downs of teens during their senior high school year, us of a. It offers a good snapshot, a slice of life of those growing-up (or growing-down!) pains. It made me remember that at age 15, just about everybody around me knew what he or she would do in his or her future. Not me; I was soul searching then, and I do allow myself searching time and again.'American Teen' is worth seeing; you can see it NOW or you can see it in your classroom. Lol Bring skin cream.
