David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...somewhat watchable yet mostly forgettable... Rated: 2/4 Apr 12, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Rather than being fun and sexy, the movie is mostly awkward, uncomfortable, and too severe to be enjoyable. Rated: 2/10 Sep 6, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

euler n Not any masterpiece, of course, but it's typical eighties. You can have fun sometimes, some common jokes, many boobs, hard rock generic soundtrack, beach, summer, parties, standart plot, simples performances, all extra actors are models. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the BEST movie, I have ever seen! Its about how the young good looking guys, meet and romance the best looking women!! and they teach 3 older guys who are workaholics, how to slow down, and meet and romance woman! It is absolutely relevant to successful salesman also, because woman and all clients, want someone to offer them something more then a pickup line, they want someone who is sincere and will really cares and wants to treat them specially, not just take advantage of them! They call it the Bigger Better Offer/Deal. There is some promiscuity and nudity, in this movie, but in romance, and love, you have to see how men and woman react to each other, after the first kiss, to fall in love. Have fun, and take notes,,, you will learn alot about male and female emotions here! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie ran all the time on cable to the point that it was a puberty rite of passage amongst the teens of my hometown, which really seems to come up in so many write-ups this week. Yes, before the internet and sexting, we were all in our rooms alone watching cable and hacking the carrot. The 80s were not an innocent time. Grant Cramer (Killer Klowns from Outer Space) is Scotty, who gets hired by three old men — Gary Wood, Michael Rapport (Patrick from Black Christmas) and Sorrells Pickard — to teach them how to pick up young women. He has a skill called BBD (Bigger and Better Deal) that allows him to "dialogue" women into bed. Then, you know, he falls in love with a girl named Kristi and starts seeing how sad the life he led once was. Because yeah, that's how guys are. I mean, what do you expect about a movie that's based on an article in the November 1983 Penthouse Magazine that was written by the film's screenwriters Eric Alter and Steve Greene? Supposedly, this is based on a true story. Courtney Gains — Malachi! — is in this, as is Darcy DeMoss from Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives and Vice Academy 3, Roberta Collins (Matilda the Hun from Death Race 2000), Kathleen Kinmont (Halloween 4), Kristi Somers (Valerie from Savage Streets), Marcia Carr (Stevie from Savage Streets and Nancy from Maniac Cop), Emily Longstreth (American Drive-In), Leslee Bremmer (School Spirit), Kane Hodder as a geek and the band Vixen playing Diaper Rash. Is it good? Well, no. Not really. Is it something that I watch every once in a while to remind myself of when I was closer in age to the hero and not the men who hire him? Yes. I can admit it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredibly trashy. It's just empty exploitation. No real arc or development. Not even any real laughs. It was nice to see the protagonist have a real relationship though... rare for this kind of movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/19 Full Review Audience Member This is really bad - even for a 1980's exploitation film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review scott m Fairly good teenage soft porn. Story about 4 middle aged 40 something's who want to have fun with younger girls. They enlist the help of a young guy. I've always enjoyed it, but only up to a point. It's better than most B movies at the time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
