I was a bit mystified as to what this actually had to do with the prmise of the OWC as outlined - I kept waiting for it to become more relevant, but it never did.

Did I misunderstand the rules?

On it's own terms - it did seem awfully old fashioned - it was more like "Grease" than "Dangerous Minds"! The characters acted in ways that I would not really expect from modern American teenagers (or indeed teenagers anywhere) - would anyone now think it really rebellious to drink beer? They'd probably be lighting crack pipes instead!

I can't say I found either particularly funny or dramatic - let alone "romantic" unless you think a being mounted by a drunk girl who has just thrown up is romantic.

On the plus side - it was formatted OK, despite the inevitable use of (CONTINUED). Everybody seems to use these even though they are no longer in fashion, so you can hardly be blamed for it. There were minor typos and such like, but nothing to write home about.

The song was, at least, well integrated into the actual piece - this didn't feel forced or out of place. Their singing and dancing to it was probably the one bit of the script that seemed romantic in the traditional sense. Sadly you failed to build on this.
