I watched this movie not long ago on TCM. I was surprised by how sexual the film really was. But also delighted that they didn't make it into some lovey dovey, puppy love nonsense. Trying to smother the sexual obsession that 99.9% of teens harbour. Of course the pairing of Darryl Hannah and Aiden Quinn couldn't flop. I mean they're perfect together. The contrast between their looks and acting styles. She's a blonde, blue eyed cheerleader, he the dark haired and light eyed Italian with a leather jacket and enough troubles to fill a circus tent. Yes, I know it's been done a billion times before and in exactly the same setting, mood and dialogue. But hey? Who says that real life characters such as these are ever going to get original themselves? It's one of my favourite raunch-o-rama teen flicks and even though its not in the league of "The Breakfast Club" or "Dirty Dancing", its soundtrack still kicks ass and plus it has a happy ending! Who can beat that?
