Summary: Where is the original?
Review: The Last American Virgin was a remake of Lemon Popcicle, the first of a whole Israeli series of films. Where The Last American Virgin was set in the America of the 80's, the original films were set in Israel, in the 1950's. The only way to see this films were dubbed. The first few of the series were quite watchable and now in the time of dvd, I can't wait for the films to come out in thjeir original language and original aspect ratio.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Forgotten and Over-Looked Classic!
Review: This forgotten teen cult classic is just great!
The horrible acting and plot makes it one heck of a gut-buster! You'll definitely want to add this to your B-Movie list.

But surprisingly, this movie doesn't only stand out for its sheer B-Movie brilliance, but also for its brave and unique tones. Unlike every other teen movie from the 80's- this drama/comedy deals with situations that are far more realistic, and in some ways more shocking than your average "Let's Get Laid" movie.

The ending is what earns the movie its 5th Star. Somehow, this raunchy screwball teen-flick manages to make the Gary character believable. You suddenly begin to feel for him, and when the story finally builds up to such an unexpected, negative and heartbreaking ending...it reminds you of just how unfair love can be.

A very good movie!

Summary: ***
Review: It's a very clumsy film. And what I loved about it, I hated about it. I saw this in high school, and Gary was me in high school. I was the shy, nice guy who the hot girls would call "sweet" when they weren't busy sexually gratifying my more aggressive buddies. Very wounding. This film cut VERY close to the bone (no pun intended, exactly. Oh, and the two girls who in particular treated me that way I saw recently, and they've both gone to seed. Sometimes justice is served.) I wish the same story could have been delivered in a better made film. But it's definitely a film a lot of people can relate to, and because of that, has some worth.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just plain wonderful!
Review: I remember sneaking downstains when I was 16 to watch this on HBO. This is 80's nostalgia for me. The teenage characters and situations are REAL, not like the silly, Hollywood, glitz of today. I cry everytime I watch it, for poor Gary. It is a wonderful piece of 80's nostalgia, for all of us that were teenagers ourselves in the 80's. Everyting, from the soundtrack, to the clothes, to the characters and the plot is wonderful. To all you teenagers out there watching American Pie and Britney Spears, watch this movie. You will love it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best 80s teen movie ever
Review: I'm so thrilled to see that The Last American Virgin is FINALLY released on DVD. I ordered it immediately and am very pleased. The picture quality on the DVD is nothing short of outstanding and the sound quality equally great. I'm so used to seeing my grainy VHS version of this movie it is almost like seeing an entirely different movie!

The movie centers around Gary who is in love with Karen. Gary's character is so genuine- it is easy to relate to him and his feelings toward Karen. Last American Virgin does not have the typical happy ending that most teen flicks of the 80s had. The ending is realistic and very heart wrenching. This is in no way your average 80s teen movie. The issues covered in Last American Virgin can be applied to any time frame - yes, even today!

The Last American Virgin also has a great soundtrack with such artists as the Cars, Commodores, Devo, Journey, REO Speedwagon and Oingo Boingo!

It was definately worth the wait to finally see this movie get it's deserved treatment by being released on DVD. My only gripe is maybe a few more extras would have been nice. Maybe an interview with some of the cast members or some cut scenes.

Overall this movie is a great buy! 5 stars

Summary: This is an American translation to an Israeli Film
Review: This is a step by step, one by one, copy of a famous Israeli film called 'Eskimo Limon," made years earlier.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not your average teen flick
Review: This is actually a pretty worthy film. While its theme is not uncommon, its characters are. Gary, the main character, is so geniune and so solid, that you cannot help but root for him. Also, his love interest, Karen, is so nice, so sweet, and SO REAL--especially in her decisions--that you finish the film with a lump in your throat. You completely understand the choices made by all the characters and you feel their frustration. Very worthy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: True - and I'm not talking about a beer ad
Review: For most of this movie, it is a basic 80's teeny-bopper skin flick (for which the 1980s were so famous!). As I went to high school during the 80s I saw plenty of these types of movies, which made it rather nostalgic.

To be sure, the film has a healthy dose of beautiful women. And, as is the case with so many 80s movies of this genre, most of them remove their clothes. Nothing surprising so far, except that the girl on the cover appears nowhere in the movie.

That said, this one had an unexpected twist. For the last 20 minutes or so, the film crosses over to the dark side and is anything like so many other 80s movies such as HARDBODIES, LOOSE SCREWS, REVENGE OF THE NERDS, etc. I had a faint feeling that the story was going to have an unhappy ending, but was rather surprised when I found that my premonition was correct.

In short, this is one of the most realistic pseudo-romantic comedies I've ever seen in my life. I could relate so well to the main character that I actually felt physically wounded, seeing what he had to endure.

The old adage that "Nice guys finish last" is something that almost no women believe, but every guy knows is true. The nice guys know it, just like the narcissistic fellows. While women traditionally deny the veracity of the tenet, selfish guys instead encourage nice guys to be more self-centered and egotistical. To we guys, no matter who or what we are, there is no mystery that the adage is dead-on.

All of these factors make this a worthwhile movie to watch. To my fellow nice-guys out there, this one is for US! Watch it, feel it & remember the times in your life when you felt just like the persona in the film.
