Rock 'n' Roll High School

It's impossible not to root for Riff Randell against the evil, conformist, rock 'n' roll hater Miss Togar, but Riff isn't a good role model. She's reckless and rebellious, and her actions are very often aggressive, challenging authority with no real benefits. (She plays loud rock music over the school's loudspeakers.) She ditches school for three days to get good concert tickets, and lies that her parents have died. On the plus side, she's cheerful and enthusiastic -- rather than angry -- and she never uses bad language. She even has a goal: she wants to be a songwriter.

Characters think and talk about sex often, but there is no nudity. Tom Roberts flirts with girls in the hallway, and sometimes ogles their breasts. He says things like "I need to get laid" and says he wants a girl with "huge breasts." A character teaches him how to make out with a girl in a car, and uses an inflatable sex doll to demonstrate how to remove a bra (the sex doll wears "pasties" over its nipples). Tom also buys a van with a waterbed in the back. Later, Riff Randell has a fantasy sequence in which she imagines Joey Ramone in her room, and climbing into her bed (fully clothed). She appears in sexy underwear and also wearing a towel. Otherwise, we sometimes see teen girls wearing skirts, tank tops, and short shorts.
