Summary: Typical Cheeseball 80's flick
Review: Watching this movie when I was a kid was great since I got to see naked girls which was a novelty for me then however, other then that these 80's flicks fail to amuse me even to this day due to their badly written story lines, unbelievable acting, and the most cheezy chliche diologue you'll never want to hear again. No wonder these actors never worked again.
I saw another reviewer compliment the musical scores in this movie which I thought was a joke since this movie force fed us with every awfull 80's rock ballad and new wave trash. This movie also makes me feel thankfull that the 80's are over since im spared of seeing the badly mismatched color clothing, the awfull hair spray hair styles, and the uncoordinated pogo stick dancing (damn thats awfull). The only relevance this movie had was pointing out how easy it was to get laid back then which is the only thing I'll miss about the 80's other wise good ridance.

Summary: One Of The Defining Early 80s Teen Movies
Review: I watched this movie as a kid and always wondered why it was never released on DVD. Well, my waiting has finally ended. MGM/UA has finally come to their senses and The Last American Virgin on DVD is now here. The Last American Virgin is the story of three high school friends who come of age and learn about life while trying to live the life of every other teenage kid. Filmed in 1982 the main character Gary, played by Lawrence Monoson, is still a virgin and tries to keep that little known secret from his two friends Rick and David. He soon falls in love with the new girl in school but is broken-hearted when his womanizing friend Rick begins dating her first. In the midst of this storyline the trio of friends fall into all sorts of mischief trying to 'get laid'. Though the storyline is interesting and keeps your attention, it's the movie soundtrack that really puts you over the edge. Groups such as Devo, The Waitresses, Tommy Tutone, U2, The Police, and The Cars give the movie the perfect 80s soundtrack. Audiences are able to see the movie trailer as a bonus feature to the DVD also. One good suggestion to give MGM though would have been to follow the same-day release of 'Valley Girl' DVD example of putting a few of the great song artist videos on the DVD as well or an audio commentary. But, that's just me being picky. Still, the price is great and having the movie in DVD format is fantastic.

Summary: Great Music, Great Humor, Great Emotions
Review: This is one of the best movies of the 80s. It has great music (Commodores, Journey, Blondie, REO Speedwagon, James Ingram, The Police, etc.) and will keep you laughing. This movie will bring you through emotions-- from laughter to tears. It deals deeply with issues of teen pregnancy, abortion, love, and friendship. I don't want to ruin it if you haven't seen it yet. If you have, you know what I'm talking about.This is similar to Porky's (if not funnier). If you haven't seen it, you should watch it. You won't be sorry you did. If you have, enjoy it all over again.

Summary: A movie ahead of its time Underappreciated Masterpiece.
Review: July, 25 2003-The Last American Virgin Hits DVD. I've waited ovr ten years to get this movie and I will not miss it now that it's back in print. I saw this movie on TV years ago and was moved by this powerful, moving and downright fun film. I never missed it when it came on TV and regretted not taping it. Although panned by critics at the time(morons) TLAV has grown a cult audience who have grown to appreciate this great film for the classic that it is. It's the kind of movie when you used to go to the movie theater with a bucket of popcorn, a soda and kick back,relax, and be ENTERTAINED by the movie. No PC messages, just comedy,drama and fun. The soundtrack has great songs that make you want to buy the albums. Buy this one- you will enjoy it. You may have to buy two-This DVD will get a LOT of play on your machine

Summary: Opening minds with a brutal dose of the truth...
Review: You may have thought that "The Last American Virgin" would be just another movie about randy kids hoping to grow up too fast. If you saw this film in the theaters or on HBO, your opinion was surely changed. Browse these heartfelt positive reviews, then note the price that this hard-to-find video is fetching. People are pining to have this movie released on DVD. It's because "The Last American Virgin" is the rare Hollywood release that made a deep impact on anyone who watched it. It starts with with the hijinks of three guys in high school who want to get laid: The Nice Guy, The Selfish Romeo, and The Chubby Clown. And there are some big laughs in store. I especially liked the gag where they convince some naive girls that they have cocaine, and try to fool them with Sugar Twin! Some of their antics are downright silly, but it only makes things more interesting, once the serious storyline begins to play out. This happens when a new girl (played by Diane Franklin, who became imbedded in the psyche of the young male of the 80s) moves to town. The Nice Guy falls for her, even as she falls for The Romeo. Even back in 1982, Hollywood endings were all that any moviegoer could expect. What we got in this picture, was nothing but a shock!
In the theater where I first saw the movie, the ending got an audible gasp of horror out of the audience. And nothing happened that would gross anyone out... The filmmaker simply let the truth be shown, and after all the frivolity of the film's first hour, it hit with the impact of an 80-pound anchor dropped from a ten-story window! As The Nice Guy drove off into the night with tears rolling down his face, and as the credits rolled, I remember hearing one girl in the theater call out, "That's messed up!" What was it about this movie, that made it so troubling, and yet so loved? One reviewer said this movie was the ultimate Guy movie; another said it's the last movie on Earth to see with a date. But this movie touched gals and guys. Its sudden and stunning dose of reality was a real wake-up call. For me, it was the whole Nice Guy syndrome: I've cried those same tears. But this movie has something for anyone who has felt the pain of going about Love all wrong. And I think some people (who had forgotten some of what it was like, to be the Nice One who was made a fool; or the Selfish One who hurt someone innocent; or the Shallow One who threw away a good chance at love) were made to remember, and I think it hurt them and made them uncomfortable in a big way. "The Last American Virgin" was unique for its times: deliriously funny, brutally honest, and, ultimately, very sobering. This well-acted story deserves to be showcased on DVD. And, yes, it has a "killer" soundtrack!

Summary: The last American great teen movie
Review: I've searched long and hard for a copy of this video for one reason - it is one of the best movies ever made. Teen angst, humor, the ramifications of teenage sex, friendship, betrayal, and above all else, love. Plus it boasts the greatest soundtrack ever compiled. From "Keep On Loving You" to "I Know What Boys Like" to the tearjerker "Oh No", you can't help but love it. Who didn't shed a tear when Lawrence Monoson, who did a superb job as the lead character "Gary",... well I won't give it away for the one or two individuals who have not yet seen this great movie. I've watched this movie at best a hundred times! And it makes me feel good every time I watch it. We've all been there, and I think that it's a movie that our youth should be watching today - wait to lose your virginity, no matter what the cost. I suggest everyone have a copy of this in their video collection.
