raisingirl99So last night I watched the She's Too Young DVD I got for Christmas, complete with the commentary. The commentary was fairly interesting. I had hoped for more -- something from Miriam McDonald would have been especially nice -- but it was still worth watching. At the very least, I learned these three things:
1. Mike Erwin has some great insights into why Nick acted the way he did, including how he was trying to fill the void in his life caused by parental neglect.
2. Megan Park is adorable in real life. Becca had an edge throughout the entire movie that wasn't so pretty, IMO, but Megan doesn't seem to be like that at all.
3. I was relieved to hear that Alexis Dziena was surprised when she first read the script by just how extreme these teens' actions are. She said that no one in her peer group behaved liked that when she was fourteen. Well, I'm about two and a half years older than she is, and I had the same reaction.
In case you're wondering, She's Too Young is the Lifetime Original Movie starring Alexis Dziena (of Invasion fame), dealing with issues of teen sex. Since I love teen dramas (particularly when they tend to go over the top), I adore this movie.
