It's not a classic by any means, but it's a decent coming of age story about a young girl, with evolution and maturity. Lot of actors in here that went on to bigger things. Dominique Swain in the 90s was a precious wonder. You either knew about her or you didn't, and if you did, you've already seen this movie, like I have. She made the movie good. She has a quality about her that even when she's playing a naive dorky girl, you identify with her. She has presence even though she's not the best actress. She's watchable. The movie runs into teen clichés but it's still a good watch.
