Description: She's Out of Control is a movie starring Tony Danza, Catherine Hicks, and Wallace Shawn. When an average-looking teenage girl gets a makeover, it's enough to make her father become overprotective of her.

Plot: Widower Doug Simpson (Danza) is a radio manager from California who lives with his two daughters, Katie (Dolenz) and Bonnie (Laura Mooney). When Katie turns 15, she feels it's time to start looking more grown-up. She's been dating Richard, the boy next door, whom her father adores, since middle school. In addition, her unflattering wardrobe has been complemented by her thick glasses and full set of braces. When Doug leaves on a business trip, Katie transforms herself into a beauty with help from her father's girlfriend Janet Pearson (Hicks). When Doug returns, he is shocked to find boys from every walk of life interested in dating Katie. When his obsession with Katie and her boyfriends reaches extreme limits, Janet suggests that Doug needs psychiatric help and he seeks out an expert who gives him advice that goes wrong whenever it is applied. Throughout the latter half of the film, Katie has three boyfriends, two of whom she eventually stops dating. At the end of the film, Katie takes a class trip to Europe and reunites with Richard again – at which point Bonnie, her younger tomboy sister, begins her own dating spree. Doug also finds out the "expert" was anything but, as he never had a daughter himself.
