This leads to all manner of trivial, pseudo-comic shenanigans, but not to any insight, comic or otherwise, into the emotional realities of father-daughter relationships.

Despite some funny scenes, the sitcomish treatment of a father's anxiety over his teenage daughter's budding sexuality is mostly shallow and uneven.

Dragoti's dire, dishonest, seldom humorous social comedy has all the nauseating hallmarks of a big-budget sitcom.

One of the very worst films of 1989.

It is an extended version of familiar, bland sitcom situations.

Leering and tacky, yet annoyingly chaste at the same time. Should have remained the TV-movie it was meant to be.

If we were judging the film on Ms Dolenz's beauty, this would be a winner.

This is the kind of film that makes me wish we could simply erase the 1980's.

She's Out of Control is predictable, silly and contrived, all of which could be forgiven if it were funny enough. It's not.

It's an irksome, one-dimensional sitcom with smut.

She's Out of Control is simultaneously so bizarre and so banal that it's a first: the first movie fabricated entirely from sitcom cliches and plastic lifestyles, without reference to any known plane of reality.
