Life 101

This film is about average,shy new college freshman Haim starting college in the 1960s he's got the specs the black hair to look like a comlete geek but has encouragment from his friends Keith Coogan (DONT TELL MOM THE BABYSITTERS DEAD)who gets Haim enough courage to ask Joyce(AMI DOLENZ) out on a date and they get it together they face for the first time trust and the responsibility of caring for someone and sharing with them their feelings not Haim's best film but hey the producers didn't even have enough money to release it in ENGLAND so why bother reading the review if only one country can watch it.

This was a typical low budget flick, but it was shot at University of Maryland one summer while I was working on campus. It's been about 7 yrs since I saw it at a screening on campus, but it was really campy. If you are a UM grad, it's great for the purpose of nostalgia, but not much else.

This movie was shot at the University of Maryland at College Park. I was an extra for about a day and a half. Though it was fun to be on a movie set, I suspected this wouldn't be a quality flick. I wasn't disappointed. I recently re-viewed this sad excuse for a movie and I still think it's horrible. I can't say one nice thing. The script is cumbersome, the lighting is overdone, continuity was an afterthought, the sound levels were all over the place, the wardrobe was inaccurate, etc, etc. I feel bad for the director since this is based on his life, but sometimes doing a job yourself doesn't necessarily mean it gets done right.
