This Film was simple and enjoyable. The two main characters, Suzie and Sam, are not accepted in their own lives. Sam is and orphan, who does not fit in with and is not liked by the other boy-scouts in his troop. Even his foster parents see him as too different or “mentally disturbed” to be allowed back it into their household. Suzie has outburst and has had a hard time be a suitable child for her family. She finds a parenting book in her house about how to deal with a troubled child, and she immediately feels betrayed. Both of them seem to desire acceptance and wonder why they are not exactly liked by others. The two of them meet, write letters, decide to runaway, and fall in love among the way. They finally have someone that accepts them for who they are.
Even the adults in this movie seem to struggle with acceptance in their own way. Suzie’s parents have a lack of connection between them as well as with their daughter. Also, the police officer is single and seeks for love and human connection.
Besides being an amusing film, it also reminded me of people’s need to feel accepted and have relationships with other people.
