Did anyone think this movie was almost parallel to Fasttimes at Ridgemont High? Which one came out first? They dealt with the same kind of topics (to first-time sex, abortion, good guy/bad guy, etc.). But with The Last American Virgin, it does have the realistic ending where as Fasttimes has the happy ending. Just seemed to me one was a rip off of the other just with a different ending.
shareFAST TIMES released in US about a little over a month later. Also, LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN is a remake of the 1978 Israel film, which apparently had the same ending and abortion subplot. I haven't seen the original film though.

Lemon Popsicle was the name of this movie. Its on YOUTUBE. Watched just the ending and it was the same, except the karen character in LP does show something that Karen in LAV did not.
As for Virgin vs Fastimes, I have NEVER seen fastimes. Shocking, not a huge fan of Sean Penns comedy. Was great in BAD BOYS and dramatic roles but this.....I have tried to watch this on tv at times, gave up after five minutes.

They're both good, but I like Fast Times better.

I've seen "fast times" a lot more than "last american virgin"
"last american virgin" is a lot funnier, imo. but such a sad ending. but the networks hardly show it anymore.
I'll go with "the last american virgin" being the better movie.

I'd say LAV.
1 The ending scene.
2.The buxom Carmela getting banged to the sound of K.C And The Sunshine Band.
3. The soundtrack pushes it over the top.

I've seen Fast Times a lot more than this but LAV wins by a mile and still makes me laugh. Great minor characters (Carmella, Ruby the hooker, etc.).
Ending still bothers me but it's more realistic.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High is on my list of all-time favourite films. But after catching this underrated classic on cable late one night, it left a lasting impression. Not so much at first with the obvious comparisons made to it's more popular counterpart. But it stayed with me for a long time after.
Realistic and funny with arguably the best soundtrack ever to a teen film.
I really didn't think Fast Times... could be topped but somehow, miraculously this movie emerges victorious.
That's my two cents. :)
Fast Times NO contest

I never revisit posts. Too busy and way above arguing.
