Freshman Fall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the best-remembered made-for-TV movies of the 1990s, this compulsively watchable melodrama--also known as SHE CRIED NO--tells the story of Melissa (Candace Cameron Bure of FULL HOUSE fame, all grown up), a college freshman anxious to fit in at her new school who attends a rowdy fraternity party and is date-raped by one of its members, Scott (Mark-Paul Gosselaar, shedding his innocent all-American SAVED BY THE BELL persona with a genuinely chilling performance). Melissa struggles to come to terms with what's happened to her, but eventually seeks help--and decides that what Scott did to her will not go unpunished. A classic of the woman-in-peril genre, FRESHMAN FALL features a powerful message beneath its cheesy dialogue, as well as surprisingly strong acting from sitcom stalwarts Gosselaar and Bure.
