One thing I didn't like about this film
How could Bobby's character not be popular with the women? The character's looks alone would have women all over him. He wouldn't have had any trouble with the ladies.
sharea lot of teen sex/comedy/ dramas from the 80's always seemed to cast a really handsome male for the lead or two for that matter. and then have a crispin glover who looks very average at least to holliwood standards.
your right about it being annoying the male model type who gets with any women at will. it does seem very unrealistic. they should have casted an average dude with a lot of character and confidence to help him get with women.

I think you ANSWERED THE QUESTION.
Most male leads are going to be the next young man groomed for stardom, and bring in audiences. In this case, it didnt' work.
The thing I liked the least about this film was that they really didn't show Matt naked. They could've at least shown his butt (what you usually get from males in most movies anyway). Zilch. Nada.
Imagine my surprise when I finally got to watch George Cukor's last film RICH & FAMOUS starring Candice Bergen & Jacqueline Bisset the other day. Matt was in it. Full naked posterior shot. About a second of frontal. BiNgO!
