I did love it when I was a teen.
Wow, I had forgotten about that part. When I thought of that movie my mind usually went straight to Jake and Sam leaning over the cake together. But thinking about the movie now- now that I am a mother to a 15yo girl- I hate him. I remember he says he is angry with his girlfriend because she’s responsible for the party and the damage to his house. But he’s old enough to say no to the party. And he’s certainly old enough to know what he’s doing by sending her off with Farmer Ted. Seriously screenplay writer- what were you thinking??
