...core of the plot--the pursuit of Frankie (Kim Richards), a tough Los Angeles high school girl, by Morgan, a new kid transplanted to L.A. from a Northeastern private school--progresses through a series of scenes utilizing that of both body and machines, mainly cars. Morgan's first day at school is marred by the destruction of his bike under a roaring hot-rodder, and that was motivated in turn by his breakup, while on his fast-moving bike (of course), of a violent mugging the night before. Surprise, surprise Frankie's boyfriend Nick (Paul Mones) was the foiled mugger...
...hundred fect, end-to-end, I think they're going to give it to me more," Cleary said. "The kid" (the defenseman) was playing it all wrong, so I pulled left and put it between the defensemen...
Like Chris and Daulton, the movie must escape the society it loathes before it can soar or score. The Soviet embassy in Mexico City is alive with swarthy-suave, worldly-wise apparatchiks (led by David Suchet), alternately amused and baffled by the bravado of Daulton (Sean Penn), a kid who has always had his way and cannot be intimidated by any old nuclear power.

The roles were reversed earlier this month in NBC's A Reason to Live, in which a well-adjusted 14-year-old (Ricky Schroder) tried to talk his despondent father out of suicide. Last week, in CBS's Not My Kid, two parents were shattered to discover that their 15-year-old daughter (Viveka Davis) was a drug abuser. Still to come: a college student (Barry Tubb) will tell his unsuspecting parents that he is homosexual in ABC's Consenting Adult, and a family will grapple with the problem of child...
...tackle? One message is distressingly familiar: Mom and Dad, more often than not, are at fault. If parents have not overtly caused the problem (like the molesting father in Something About Amelia), they are, at the very least, insensitive or inattentive to the gathering storm clouds. In Not My Kid, the fact that the parents are completely surprised to learn of their daughter's drug problem is seen as proof that they have fallen down on the job. They are forced to send her to an institution, where group-confrontation tactics ("Get honest! Just get honest about it!") are directed...
