Customer Reviews

Fun TV movie with some big-name actors.

The story is standard. Shades of “Carrie” (1976). A misunderstood overweight teenager, Rita (Susan Myers), is dissed by her quasi-friends and her family for being a tad pudgy. She sulks and eventually finds a way, taught by her friendly gym teacher, Jo Standish (Lelia Goldoni), to use her “will” to squish them. It takes some time for everyone to come around to what is happening. She is just getting used to her new environment when she may find there is still competition. She just can’t win, or can she? This is not the first time for this formula movie and will not be the last. However, it is fun to see all the old actors acting.
