Kim is a student who looks way to old to be in high school. Actually, all of the students look way to old to be in high school. Kim is an arrogant woman who does not get along with her mother and is flunking school. Kim has no interest in the fact that she is flunking school. Her boyfriend dumped her after putting up with her bad attitude for two years. In one scene where the teacher is lecturing Kim about failing class, Kim responds with “Can I go before I am late to the next class and get another lecture?” As she is walking out the door of the classroom, the old 70’s Public Broadcasting System jingle.
In a classic scene, Kim confronts her mother about wearing the same robe around the house. Her mother responds with “What do you want me to wear? An evening gown?!?” Kim replies “Your always fussing! But you don’t care about yourself. Look at you your always in that rag! No wonder he couldn’t stand it here! You could have more about other things other than dust and dirt….and greasy buildups! And then daddy maybe wouldn’t have killed himself because he couldn’t get it up anymore!!!!” I laughed out loud at that scene.
After the first few scenes it is easy to tell that Kim is angry over loosing her father and loosing her boyfriend. In an effort to forget about her problems, Kim turns to alcohol and drugs. After a while, neither the booze or the drugs do her any good. So, she decides she is going to turn her life around by offering sex to the teachers in exchange for better grades. Her advances are pushy and aggressive. She waist no time in trying to hook up with the teachers. As well as anyone else that is willing to throw a few bucks at her.

After being verbally abused and threatened after asking for a larger share of the money she earns by being a prostitute, Kim leaves her pimp for a man who promised her she would earn more and have more respectable clients if he came to work for him. Her first client ends up being violent and begins to rape and assault Kim. Kim grabs a large sharp pick and stabs the john in the middle of the back. When Kim sees the john roll off of the bed on onto the floor and sees the blood on her hands, the look of excitement crosses her face. She lights up like a Christmas Tree for killing a man. Not long after, Kim decides that she is much happier being a paid assassin then a hooker. I am sure her daddy would be proud.
The movie is loaded with dark humor and is visually enjoyable. The actors do a great job of playing out their rolls and clearly have fun doing this movie. This film is available on the "Drive In Cult Classics" set at just about any Wal Mart or second chance video store.
