The plot is a bunch of teenage boys decide to make a pact to lose there virginity by the prom. Some already have experience some don’t just like some have girlfriends most don’t but they are going to help each other to there destination. They all have hijinks and obstacles they must overcome and get through.
I like to consider this the PORKY’S of the nineties or at least the American remake of it the closest we will get anyway. The film opened the eyes of nineties teenagers the way PORKY’S did in the 80’s. it revitalized a genre that seemed dead. It was hardcore for it’s time with nudity and actual sexual situations of course played for comedy but still entertaining it pushed the envelope with pride.
This film launched many careers and looking at it now it’s nice to see the cast that is so young and innocent. The movie is very entertaining it has many memorable scenes and characters
I like the fact that not everything is perfect in this film like the scenes involving the choir competition. The choir is not top notch even though they are in the competition. The film also wins point as most of the cast look like normal teenagers not gorgeous models but awkward looking gawky teenagers.
The film works on two levels as a teen movie and as a comedy. You don’t have to be young to get it. It feels original and organic not like it comes off of a assembly line. The film breezes by with the mainstays of the genre with the culmination happening at the prom. What helps the audience also feel close to the characters is the film isn’t smooth and shiny it looks like budget stuff not sharp but affordable.
A Good Rental
