Trivia
Acting debut of Sophie Marceau, who was discovered late in the process by casting director Françoise Menidrey after the then 13 year old with no drama training whatsoever had just days earlier joined a child modeling agency to earn some pocket money and auditioned by chance. The role immediately propelled her to international superstardom and she has since been consistently named as one of, if not the favorite celebrity of the French.

Goofs
Vic says that Juliet from 'Romeo & Juliet' was only fifteen. Actually, Juliet is thirteen in the play.

What follows is a positive review.

"La Boum", while not being a complicated or serious movie, does have its good points. Sophie Marceau as Vic acts out quite well how Vic reacts to her parents' crumbling marriage and her excitement over developing her relationship with her new boyfriend, Mathieu. There are practical jokes throughout the movie, and also a lot of teenage angst drama. This is basically a movie to watch when you want to be entertained instead of watching a serious movie.
