KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments:

Very good film but contains some profanity for which we would only show this to an adult audience, including the "f" word. There is also some sexual behavior which makes it unsuitable for children such as a couple having sex in a closet. It is something that older students and adults would appreciate and offers insight into what it was to e a block teen or college student at this time.
