Awesomest movie of all times, I really don't understand how it isn't more popular.
Set in the early 60's with some of the best songs ever made; A little girl (Alice played by Eliza Dushku) and the neighborhood kids (one played by Katherine Heigl) hang out often talking about love and sex. The twin boys and 2 girls often tease Alice about not knowing enough about sex and relationships. The kids are fascinated with Sheryl (a Catholic teen who's a daddy's girl played by Juliette Lewis) but not as fascinated (almost obsessed) as little Alice. She tries to convince her friends that she's close to Sheryl and learns a lot from her. But really Alice just watches Sheryl all the time and copies a lot of her routines.
Sheryl is boy crazy and her dad is understanding and is friendly to all the jock boys that come and go. One night at the local bowling alley hangout, Sheryl meets a greaser named Rick (played by C. Thomas Howell) and they flirt. Sheryl's father then passes away. At the wake, Sheryl is sad and needs to get away. She sneaks off and Alice confronts her finally to offer her condolences. Sheryl asks Alice to say she never saw her and swore her to secrecy. They pinky swear. Sheryl heads to the bowling alley to return the shoes, hoping that the Rick is working. A relationship then blooms between Sheryl and Rick. Alice is all about Rick and Sheryl's relationship.
The neighborhood and Sheryls mom is not happy about having the greasers in their neighborhood and Sheryl's mom forbids her from seeing Rick. Meanwhile at a birthday party, Alice and her friends play spin the bottle and one of the twins tells her to close her eyes and open her mouth wide while they stick a live frog in her mouth. Alice runs away screaming and run a to her front yard. Her parents are away until late and so Sheryl over years Alice sobbing and throwing up and runs out to help and comfort her.
Alice then convinces Sheryl to stay with her and babysit so she they can sneak away and see Rick. They have an amazing adventurous night and Alice finally gets her wish to belong with them and for the. To know who she is and be part of their lives.
Sheryl gets pregnant and her mom sends her away, she tells Alice to give a message to Rick for her. Alices parents find out about the night on the town and grounds her so Alice can't get to Rick.
Finally she does and her and Rick set off on an adventure to get Sheryl.
I'm not going to spoil the ending, but my only wish is that they'd shown the neighborhood kids that Alice and Sheryl were tight in the end.
