WHAT A LIFE!


Did Bobby have it good or what?

That house! That pool!

Kitten Natividad works at the local whorehouse. (There IS a local whorehouse!)

The neighborhood waitress is cute as hell, has knockout tits, and is always up for a quickie in the back seat.

Ongoing Flashdance aerobics performances, and mud wrestling, down the street.

The gorgeous girl friend becomes your girlfriend just by asking.

And, of course, your live-in tutor is a smokin'-hot, skinny-dippin' babe eager to teach the "international language," as well as French.

Oh, and in real life you get to marry Olivia Newton-John.

Just saw this flick again after many years. I'd forgotten how perfect a male-teen fantasy world the filmmakers created.

BTW, I met Matt Lattanzi in a West L.A. mall in 1986. He was as friendly as could be, even introduced me to Olivia and his new baby.

Ah, the good ole days. Why don't I own this film??!!

Anyone have any thoughts on this flick? Or did I say it all?

I certainly agree with your sentiments in the first post.

The film is not a masterpiece for me, but it's definitely enjoyable. It should be the blue book standard for gratuitous nudity and cheesecake scenes in films.

I'm a big Crispin Glover fan, too, so he was icing on the cake, so to speak . . . especially once he got to Mexico, I suppose.

You did pretty much say it all, and very well. It came out in theaters on March 4, 1983 (the day before I turned 15, so I was in this age myself then), and I saw it a few times on our VCR later in 1983 and 1984. And yes, some of the scenes in it really got me erotically aroused. The movie itself was pretty good as well (not great, but just what you said), and this year is its 25th anniversary. And in the late 1980s I made a list of the 10 most handsome male characters on TV or movies, and Bobby Crystal was on it, I remember how hunky I thought he was from this movie (the youngest, and only one under 20)-so maybe he deserved this.

Yeah, Bobby sure was living a mighty sweet life indeed. The perfect male teen fantasy all the way.

Yes he was lucky and it brought back memories of the Flashdance aerobics. I can remember when they started the 20 minute workout around this time. The local network or station that we had that would show this was out of St. Louis, Mo. I lived in a Central Illinois town and loved watching 20 Minute Workout due to the hot aerobic women in this 20 minute thing. LOL

Yes he did have it lucky and I wish that could be my life to be honest with you. They do not make movies like this any longer. I wished they still did though.

... The eye-candy in this movie is off the scale!





Born when she kissed me, died when she left me, lived whilst she loved me

The only thing he didn't have (inexplicably) was a car. What was up with that!?
