film need to stand alone . no sequel should work where one need to see the first to understand the second while the work of the director be to allow first time viewer to understand their goal and mission and and tone of the film without force more money out of their hard earn pocket . not the case here . from the beginning we be push into the life of these four and sometimes three and mostly two and teenager that love nothing more in life than to talk about sex and get married and past boyfriend and and historical moment in the past . the problem with this film and where it fault immediately and be that there be no future . nobody care about consequence or decision and and there be no authority there to stop them . sure and this be 1965 and the time have few boundary and but wilson doesn not give u this . she allow her girl to have free reign and control and and thus the story become disastrous . to begin and we have no character . there be no developed character at all in this film . through monotone voice and stag line and and unrehearsed moment and we follow these girl a they leave college and head to oregon and and suddenly into california . no parent worry and money doesn not seem to be an issue and reality happens to float right out the window . one would think witty dialogue would follow and but it doesn not . nothing of value occur with out character and because they give u nothing to care about . a review quote margaret langrick performance a sandy wilcox a charming and but to me and she be utterly dull . none of these character have any emotion when they speak and they be all dry up and and nobody ( the actor nor the director ) seem to care . it be the 1960s and i guess anything be possible . move past the character and one would hope that the story would venture at least a spark of interest and but not with american boyfriend . have nearly find myself ill with the character and the story have me run to the bathroom . nothing be cohesive . i have use the word nothing quite a bit and but it be because all other word escape me . nothing of value happen in this film . in one scene we be drive to a wedding and no money and no care and and the open road ahead of u . then and we be get gas and eating dinner and get our hair do and and live the pampered life . then we be at the wedding and cousin flirt and the dry best man ( another sore moment for the film ) attempt to talk and couple unite and others break apart and and free car be give out to those that whine the most . then we be in california and look for surfer and find freeloader and drinking and listen to music and cry about the war and and talk to a guy name glider who apparently love hotdog . tragedy happens while we be back to canada and and rush the boarder . all in a day work but not for me . nothing of value happen outside of what i just mention . there be no character and no story not one reason for this film to even exist . my toe wouldn not even tap at the music because it seem cliché and overused . it do not reflect the situation that our pseudo character be go through . it felt a if wilson want to make a film and throw in several of her own favorite song and and keep her friend from film past not actually make a strong and memorable body of work . most of the time i can find at least one positive comment to make about a body of work that a team spend blood and tear on and but with american boyfriend nothing come to mind . it be a stale piece of bread hop to find out that light do strike twice and but ala and the weatherman call for clear sky . overall and i can not suggest this little film to anyone . there be a reason why it hasn not see the dvd light yet and and it would be a waste of disc space if it miraculously do . the character be unmotivated and boring and stag and random and and sprinkle with a bit of amateur night on top . they be not professional and only add to the diminished quality of the film . the story be non existent . there be nothing and outside of what i could summarize in two minute that make this film stand out in my mind . it be a if sandy wilson do not know how to make a movie and or that there wasn not any script and just money and a map . focus on the direction and character and no matter the power of the story and and still something will stick to the audience . there be nothing of value at all . the music and of which this film pride itself on ( i. e. see the sticker on the box ) be horrendous . it completely miss the direction of the story . it felt like i be watch good morning vietnam set to opera music it just do not work . there be nothing positive to say about this film . it be a blemish on both the hollywood name as well a the word sequel . i can not suggest this film to friend or family and nor even to sandy wilson . it be rush and trite and and completely incomplete . whomever think these girl could act and be horribly mistake . skip this one please and for the sake of your family you will live a happy life . grade represent out of .
