Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring an interview, actress Betsy Russell was asked what she thought about the trailer showing her character as a strong female, but then cutting to her in the shower. She said: "I've never really paid attention to that. I guess strong females still have to take showers. They still like to feel sexy, so I don't think there's one thing that should stop someone from feeling sexy and showing their body if that's what they choose to do. I don't think it makes any difference in the world."
- GoofsThe naked man Tommy encounters has tape visible on his lower abdomen, which is apparently being used to cover his genitals.

Great Movie!
Ignore the feminist comment about a sexist plot and non-acting cast members. This movie was one of the best the 80's had to offer as far as wacky teen comedies and at age 15 I thought the excessive skin was right on. I don't think the acting was supposed to be good. It's just like all the other teen movies we love so much by the likes of John Hughes and Savage Steve Holland to name a couple. Yeah I knew it was cheesy but the cheese factor is was what made it so great! Really funny stuff. When I watch these movies I always see someone that is currently acting on a popular drama or in some of today's biggest hit movies and it's a blast to see them as pimply little teenagers. If you are between the ages of 30 and 40 and haven't yet seen this one, I suggest you check it out.
