For the majority of its running time, this plays like a typical teen sex comedy of the period --- plenty of nudity in the service of plenty of ribald situations --- but it unexpectedly turns serious during the second half.

Overall, it's got strong Porky's vibes, with an exceptionally brutal ending that makes the film all the better.

One of the things the movie gets especially right is the way in which teenagers are so desperate for grown-up experiences, but their emotions are too volatile to process them.

A barely tolerable raunchy formulaic teen comedy that turns unfashionably serious with a realistic downbeat ending.
