Summary: Lots of fun.
Review: Class is really class. A bit of comedy, a bit of sexual fantasy and the fun & pressure of studying in a high class prep school are beautifully interwoven. I like the ending when the guys laugh off thier stupidity. Jackie Bisset is gorgeous as usual. I've liked this movie ever since the first time I saw it.

Summary: Hillarious Film One of the best from the 80`s
Review: Definatly one of my fave films from the eighties. A romantic teen comedy dealing with love and sexual expierences. Andrew Mcarthy plays Johnathan a shy introvetrd high school student who attends a posh all boys private school, his roomate Skip Played very well by Rob lowe is the sexually charged playboy who gets the both of them into a lot of trouble. When one night Johnathan is pressured By Skip and fellow peers to go out on the town and have a sexual encounter.

An outragous comedy dealing with a subject people can relate to, The pressures of having sex the need to feel wanted and respected by people around you. It`s not often a story like this is made into a comedy but the producers did a great job in doing so. Both Andrew Mcarthy and Rob Lowe did very well and were belivable in their roles.

Summary: A Brat Pack Movie
Review: I must admit that this movie was one of the typical 'Brat Pack' movies. Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy are wonderful as two teenagers who are completely different. Skip (Lowe) comes from a very wealthy family and is expected to go to Harvard after finishing up at his prep school, Vernon Acadamy. Jonathan (McCarthy) on the other hand, comes from the city and is in the Middle-Class. He is not as 'smoothe' as Skip and learns the hard way how to get a woman.

The climax of the story is when Jonathan meets Skip's family. He has no idea that the woman with whom he has been sleeping with is Skip's mother! The reaction of the two is great.

This movie is filled with comedy, light drama, and minimal violence. It's fun to watch, even though it is a bit dated. For me though, seeing a young Rob Lowe was the thrill!

Summary: First exposure to the physical acts of love and enjoyed it!!
Review: I remember when, at the age of 12, my babysitter(who strikingly resembled Catherine Mary Stewart)let me watch this film with her about a young college student who had an affair with his roommate's beautiful mother. Having been exposed to the act of lovemaking, ... physical love, or however people describe the emotional and physical act, I was impressed with how the film turned out. It may have an '80's version of the 1967 film The Graduate, but it was a joy to watch. British actress Jacqueline Bisset not only radiates her beauty, but she also radiates someone who is sad, if not depressed. Andrew McCarthy (in his first role) does an excellent job of playing a young man who changes from a nerd type to a suave and debonair ladies man. This film was, in many ways, one of the brat pack films, and starred many actors from that era who were just getting started in the industry. Not only are the ... love scenes between Andrew and Jacqueline convincing, they are beautiful and moving. The rest of the film is also enjoyable to watch. If you enjoyed the era of the 1980's and older, beautiful, and sophisticated women characters, then you'll enjoy this hilarious, if not moving film.

*Andrew McCarthy stated in an interview that he must have been doing something right when he was offered the role. This was after he had filmed his love scenes with Jacqueline Bisset.

*As always, rumors of the love scenes between the two indicated that they were real and not just acting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: True Love
Review: I saw this film when it first came out, and also saw the Siskel & Ebert review. They both liked the opening bit, but thought the film went rapidly downhill after the first scenes. I remember Roger Ebert complaining about the near-pedophilia depicted by Jacqueline Bisset. I think he missed the point. The story is about the relationship -- the friendship, the bond of love -- between the McCarthy and Lowe characters. Bisset's character obviously had psychological problems, but she did think the boy (McCarthy) was over 21 (so much for charges of pedophilia). The Bisset/McCarthy "romance" sets up the crisis (Lowe discovering that his best friend is sleeping with his mother) which tests the boys' friendship. The climax is the fight, which desolves into a reaffirmation of their freindship. The film is quite funny in places, escpecially in the opening scenes, involves a bit of the coming-of-age spin, and actually has some depth as it explores the development, testing, and survival of friendship. An extra delight in this film is the debut (I think) of John Cusack; small part, but right on the money.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Absolutely Pure Funny
Review: I saw this movie yesterday on the Movie Channel and on Showtime a few times before and let me tell you that this movie is great. It's not just a comedy, but instead a movie of first love and first sexual experiences. This movie will have you laughing ear to ear.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: I was a bit apprehensive about this movie when I bought the DVD. Already there were so many movies dealing with Oedipus complex. But this movie is a great one and class apart from many others dealing with on this subject.

The plot looked natural and the acting was good. Not only Bisset (from whom good acting is a natural expectation) but the others too. Even the sex scenes were not graphic, leaving a lot to imagination...that distinguished the movie from a mere sex flick.

Its worth buying this moview
