Hmmm, I dunno what it is about American directors when making films about youth culture, but they always seem to assume that all kids take drugs, get laid & get drunk! ... Ok most do, but this film is so steretypical it is insulting! Plus, the story is very predictable & the acting... ohhh what a mess that is! Good price though... but now i understand why!

When Zoe Slater planned to leave London to work with her Uncle Harry in Spain, she shouted down supposed sister Kats objections with You cant tell me what to do, you aint my mother!, to which Kat replied Yes I AM!. Uncle Harry had regularly abused Kat with the knowledge of her mother Viv, resulting in her pregnancy at the age of thirteen; her father Charlie, Harrys brother, remained in the dark for years while they raised Zoë as their own. The woman Zoe had called her mum was really her Nan, her sister was her mum & her uncle was her great uncle & her father! Zoë fled the Square & Kat slashed her wrists. The character of Kat is known for her fiesty characteristics- heavy makeup, heavy tan & leopard skin clothes. She was briefly involved with her sister Lynnes boyfriend Gary Hobbs.
