Teenage Bride II

1982 Movie Drama

Indonesian tragi-drama about an ill-fated romance between two troubled teens; the female half stricken with terminal cancer. Though labeled a sequel, this is basically just a rehash of the first film from 1971, which itself was a rehash of the cheesy worldwide hit Love Story from just one year earlier. In case you haven't yet had your fill of seeing teens whining, suffering and dying, the first film was rehashed yet again in 1991 under the same title.
