The Teenage Textbook Movie is a film adaptation of Adrian Tan's bestselling 1988 novel The Teenage Textbook. It is a lighthearted look at the lives of four students in Singapore as they start junior college.[1]
When Mui Ee attends Paya Lebar Junior College with her best friend Sissy Song, she encounters a new life form: boys. There are many, but only one will win her heart.
Yong Siew Fern of The New Paper rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that "Unobtrusive acting and music-video editing combine to make this movie very much like your teen years - it will pass at its strolling pace, but it will be entertaining."[3] Tan of Sinema felt that the "script was very well-written and although some parts were a little off in execution, it was an amazing adaptation of the book.".[4]
