Making It (1971)

Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by John Erman
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

High schooler Kristoffer Tabori can only think about sex. He's sleeping with the basketball coach's wife while juggling teeny boppers from school. He has an intellectual bent and argues with a teacher about Catcher in the Rye. At home, his single mother is contemplating another marriage. Eventually, his sexual antics catch up to him, but in an ironic twist it is his mother who needs the most help. Innocuous film never lives up to its potential, dwelling too much on now-dated pop culture instead of its more universal themes, as pointed out by the English teacher.
