    Captivating

    An accurate depiction of high school life. Although I graduated 13 years ago, the memories came flooding back.

    American Teen is an excellent portrayal of the awkward, exciting and character-shaping years called high school. Great selection of students to profile. Well done.

    my favorite documentary

    I liked this movie. It had the best parts of both a documentary
    and a story. Enough happens to keep it interesting, but not so
    much that it's unbelievable. Every character is portrayed in a
    fair light.
    Definitly my favorite documentary.

    American Teen

    One of the funniest films I have seen in a while. An interesting view at stereotypical high school seniors.

    Adolescence Brought Back...

    This movie brought back so many of the feelings of high school and adolescence. I am much (much, much) older now, but the empathy I felt for the characters with whom I identified was undeniable. Some of the portrayals reminded me of people that I have never cared for, but there were many having difficulties that were so understandable and common to most. I also enjoyed the way the movie was constructed with a bunch of interwoven sub-plots, all interrelated, but with different issues and feelings. This movie is all about a very tough time in life, the adolescent years. Peer pressure and parental influence on careers and choices abounds, as several of the players try to estabilish their uniqe individuality and strike out on their own. Just a very honest, genuine portrayal of one group of seniors and the complexities of coping and moving through a pivotal stage in life...
