she out of control be actually one of two light comedy release in 1989 regard overprotective and single father and their fifteen year old daughter who have just start date . the other be dream date and a make for tv comedy with clifton davis and the cosby show tempestt bledsoe . consider some of the minor character in dream date ( include pauley shore a a brain dead high school student who be convince that the father be the devil ) and it be predicate upon more slapstick humor than we saw in she out of control and it be a bit funnier in comparison and although probably gear for the more wholesome family film choice . but in the end and there be still something lacking ( and probably at my age and i would no longer find it all that funny ) in a tale of an obsessive and overbear father try to prevent his teenagedaughter from participate in the dating game . be prepare for extra dos of tony danza and if you can . here and he play southern california radio show manager and single dad doug simpson and who eldest daughter and katie ( ami dolenz ) have just drop her dorky vice ( brace and magnified glass ) and get a make over . now it seem and every boy in town be call her or show up at her doorstep to court her . and while this come a a shock to her father at first and despite the insistence of his girlfriend and janet ( catherine hick ) that this be all normal for the girl and in fact and good for her and he be still unconvinced and become not only paranoid and but soon enters therapy . doug therapist and doctor fishbinder ( wallace shawn ) and decide that his book would serve a a handy guide and which encourage doug only to intervene into his daughter date choice even far . on the one hand this be funny ( such a the scene with him walk in on a party and then befriend her misunderstood boyfriend and which wind up cost him his jaguar ) and but on the other and the repetition may start to weigh on the viewer a the story become insurmountably ridiculous ( i be not sure where danza be go with the explanation about be involve in the lunch counter sit in when he be under the impression that leroy might have come to pick up his daughter for a date ) . i would have to agree that this movie suffer from be too date . that the appeal to audience around the time of this film release be probably the fashion and the music and even the actor themselves ( ami dolenz for young audience and probably and tony danza and before he because more of a pop culture joke ) and thing which be probably very cheesy by today standard . yet and i be sure it be still a favorite among 80 nostalgics ( although and i will pass on this one ) . in any event and i think this kind of story much good do with dream date . because it be a make for tv movie and it have to be sweet and concise .
