So, 'Have You Ever Been Ashamed Of Your Parents?' is a TV movie from '83 that captures that awkward, formative summer vibe. You’ve got these two girls, one from a wealthy background and the other more middle-class, who strike up this unlikely friendship. It’s all very nostalgic, with a tone that feels both light and a bit heavy—like the weight of expectations you feel as a teen. The pacing is pretty reflective, allowing you to savor those quiet moments of bonding and conflict. Performances are decent, capturing the essence of teenage angst and the social divide. It’s distinctive in its exploration of class and identity, often hitting close to home for anyone who’s felt that kind of pressure growing up.
