Don't expect to watch American Pie or Porkys, this is a poor derivative with admittedly a few laugh-out-loud moment.

This is a completely rote teen sex comedy which is very amusing at points and actually quite well-attuned to adolescent male psychology, in my opinion.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Another pretty bad National Lampoon film. This, is a bit better than most of the others in the low budget recent catalogue. The acting, at least, is not bad.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Lacks even the urge to find a sparkling angle on an overdone subgenre.

Tom Arnold plays Deacon's dad -- his presence really tells you everything you need to know about the film.
