REVIEWS

Review by Larry Clark (posted on 24-Sep-2007)

I first watched this movie as a 15 year old, and it was hilarious. And now at the age of 40 , 25 years later, it's still brings out a laugh in me. Being a christian now, I can't watch the nude scenes anymore, but on basic cable it's a fun movie to watch. Wow, who would have ever thought all those people would go on to become bigtime stars.
