Extremely goofy and fun coming of age movie but insanely chaotic. Good fun to turn your brain off and watch

A strange, yet needed entry into the teen sex comedy. Contributing a surreal approach, that feels like a horny teenager's wet dream.

Classic Tommy Cruise! The plot is very interesting, but it definitely serves well! Pretty solid film work and intensity! An 80’s must watch!

Making generations of young adults slide across wooden floors wearing nothing but briefs.

Plays on young straight guys’ fantasy and the repercussions. Young Cruise is the charismatic lead needed. And Mornay is the dream girl.
