This musical comedy focuses on the trials and tribulations of a teenager rebelling against her parents and coping with puppy love. This is pure fluff, harmless and forgettable. It feels like an extended sitcom. In fact, it is much too extended for such fluff, far outstaying its welcome with a running time of nearly two hours. Powell is the teen of the title and Stack is the hunk she pines for. In his penultimate film, Beery is the teddy bear of a father. Miranda shakes the groove thing. It is interesting that Powell is the star here in only her fourth film while Taylor, who had already appeared in eight films, is given a secondary role.
