Spoiler? Boy meets girl - besotted - girl uses/ditches boy - boy wises up unfathomable to this old fart that kids today have the total freedom portrayed in this film a) money enough to go off on an trip in mamma's car--gas, food, car repair, whatever -- and apparently having no jobs or responsibilities except going to school b) parents unconcerned enough apparently to accept such irresponsibility c) non-gritty white bread world with no conflict other than the usual social cliques d) no consequences re ditching school or going walkabout d) again where does the money come from?
