Teenage Dream

Craig, a high school senior, lives a fantasy most teen-agers only dream. He and his sister Zoe, 14, live in a sprawling San Marino ranch house, their one chaperon an elderly servant who speaks no English. Their Taiwanese parents run a construction company in Taipei. Dad drops by every few months on business, but Craig has seen his mother only twice in three years.

"Weird Science" (citywide) is every oppressed, overheated 15-year-old boy's dream. Having trouble with girls? Build your own. Got a repressive older brother? Get that turkey good--make him eat his toenail parings, show him who's boss. Parents loomin' a little large? Off with them. Bring your entire high school class over and let's paaaarty.
