American Graffiti
I enjoyed American Graffiti (how the hell do you spell this word?)....And this film is comparable in its nostalgic look at innocence of teenage culture before the 60's, American "rock n roll," fast cars, etc....except it showed it from the perspective of a 12 year old girl, and the innocence, awkwardness, and dreaminess is greater since, well, it's a 12 year old girl. Yet while I think both films are great, I wonder if American Graffiti is overrated, or My American Cousin underrated.
Also, although I think Sandy's kiss with her cousin was innocent and playful, it is a little weird in the end, when her mother (who knew about it?..) says to her, "other boys will come along..." Um....yeah, it's her cousin, mom...
