A great tongue-in-cheek movie that has one of the funniest gags - a pair of bloomers (underwear) makes a great difference in a high-school girl's life. Every time she wants something good, her bloomers elastic break, they fall down, and she gets what she wants! I love how the non-popular girl gets ahead and also gets the best guys' attention. Great for all the "non-popular in high school" girls out there. There is also a interesting sub-plot about her getting to know her estranged father. He had ignored her for years, every since her mother died and she was being raised by her grandmother. Now he discovers what a good daughter he has and has started to get to know her. That part will reach a lot of people out there with trouble with a parent. A great movie that I really enjoy seeing over and over.
