About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an early-’80s teen sex comedy packed with pranks, rivalry, and lots of skin, in the vein of The Last American Virgin or National Lampoon's Van Wilder; Not for you if you want subtle humor or a strong plot.
Pros: high-energy raunchy hijinks; a sweet romance thread; catchy 80s vibe | Cons: thin predictable story; humor often juvenile; heavy on nudity
