Audience Member Very retro and refreshing it doesn't get points for new storytelling elements but it feels good and very relaxing taking place in the 1950's era it feels very authentic with the music, the costumes and the atmosphere Kelly Preston is a joy to watch along with some other unknown actors young actors playing likeable teenage high schoolers they face everything you can imagine while being young from popularity to rebellion to crushes to first dates to sex and coming-of-age the humor works very well when it comes to the raunchy material but it's not in-your-face thank goodness it's very sweet and very honest Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Horror fan 4 What a great teen sex comedy. Filled a stellar cast and great music this movie is highly underrated. So many quotable lines this reminds me of another great sex comedy of the 1980's Porky's. Tim Treakle Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Audience Member A forgotten time capsule piece from the 80's that no one ever talks about,and it really is a shame.A must see for anyone who likes teen comedies that take place in a different time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The funniest Kelly Preston movie, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Mel Damski mainly did TV — episodic and movie — but man, this movie, he hit it out of the park for every teenage male in 1985, who all probably taped it off Cinemax. The number of folks I know that had a copy of this and know about this movie is pretty astounding. It was written by Noel Black, who directed the classic Pretty Poison as well as the not as much of a classic Private School. The reason for all the attention to this movie was, well, we didn't have the internet and the love making scene with Jonathan Bellah (Doug McKeon) finally hooks up with his crush Marilyn McCauley (Kelly Preston) was like a bolt from heaven. I'm not proud of it, but porn magazines didn't always just turn up in the woods in those days. But some days, they totally did. His friend, Gene Harbrough, is in love with their friend Bunny (Catherine Mary Stewart), who already has a man in Kenny Brubaker (D. W. Brown). Plus, Jami Gertz is in this, as is Terry O'Quinn as Jonathan's father. We had not yet arrived where the thought of O'Quinn as a father was a terrifying concept. There's a great soundtrack as well with so much of the music of the time, like Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, The Platters, Bill Haley and the Comets, The Skyliners, Elvis Presley, Little Richard and more. When you watch this movie in 2021, you realize that the hero is pretty much a jerk, not understanding that no means no, that women aren't just objects to be grabbed, that if a date agrees to sleep with you that you're responsible for birth control and if you agree on the pull out method, actually pull out. I kind of hate him, to be perfectly frank. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful movie, classic teenage coming of age flick.
