This was really good, for a CBS after school special.

Personally, I Liked it. I thought that the actors did a fairly good job considering what they had to work with. I also think that since it was a CBS after school special, that the message behind it was very profound and compelling.

You got to see actors in a role that you'd never thought you'd see them in, dealing with a subject that is very hard to talk about even in these modern times.

If I were a parent, I would recommend this special to other parents and I have.

I personally give this 4 out of 5 stars.

Great educational film!

Warning: Spoilers
This movie was a CBS After School Special which was written to not only entertain young people, but also to educate without letting young people know they were being educated.

It is VERY well done and is currently used by I believe Girls and Boys Town America as an educational video about child sexual abuse. This after school special does a good job of getting the point across.

I watched this when I was a kid the day it aired on TV and it was a film I -always- remembered, and when I saw it again as an adult I understood -why- I remembered it.

On a lighter note...it was a real kick to watch this 10 years later to find that my favorite actor (Jason Wiles) got his start in this show.

good plot, horribly executed

this movie was not acted out well, set up well, thought out well, and especially not finished well. I'm going into High School and we had to watch this movie in Health in 8th grade for some reason but it was horrible! It's kind of sad at how bad it is because it has a pretty good plot, then again nearly every movie does, but this movie was predictable, boring, lousy, and disturbing at some points. The plot didn't explain a lot of things, and the movie just ended up being completely uninspiring and disgusting! So, if they had just thought it through then it could've been a lot better. But, because they didn't, it didn't end up being a good movie and stunk.

i guess okay

most people would watch this movie and realize it is stupid but I guess it had little plot it in. I dont want to say anything because it is really typical and just-another-one-of-those kiddy type movies about stupid second grader things but it IS a kiddy movie what can I say. I guess there was some good to this movie, they actually spent some money making the movie which I dont understand why because the writer of this film obviously was just scribbling down something someday and decided to make a film or whatever. Anyways, I guess little second graders would find this film sort of humorous but as for a guy like me, an eighth grader in middle school, films like this dont cut it. I guess three out of five stars because I found little interest in it, and oh yeah, who would have ever thought a movie that this could look so low budget? I dont know, like before the film is alright and if your looking for an alright film on a bad day, this film just might cheer you up some, if not then forget about this film... or television original movie...
