There were so many raunchy '80s teen sex films ("Porky's," "Zapped!," "Losin' It" among them) that to those not initiated, "The Last American Virgin" might appear to fall in the same
coarse class. But there's so much more to this funny, poignant and finally real
teen movie; it actually breaks your heart. In between its raw depiction of
teenage sexual fulfillment and misery, you'll see three high school friends led
by the timid Gary (Lawrence Monoson) all attempting to lose their virginity in a
series of boob-filled, funny, raunchy but often downright depressing set pieces.
Spiked with a terrific musical soundtrack and a less than nostalgic look at
first love/first time, "The Last American Virgin" has earned a respectable and
well-deserved cult following among both the freaks and the geeks who remember
the times.
