Losin' It
The Last Word About The First Time!
Tom Cruise (Magnolia) has everything to gain -- and a certain something to lose -- when he crosses paths with Shelley Long ("Cheers," The Brady Bunch Movie) in this rambunctious road-trip comedy set in the wild and wacky sixties. A wild, irreverent and totally out-of-control trip down memory lane, this high-octane Baja excursion has laughs coming as fast as a Tijuana taxi!
When all-American high-schooler Woody (Cruise) and his Sinatra-obsessed pal Dave (Jackie Earle Haley, Nemesis) decide that it's time to lose their virginity, they enlist the help of their "more experienced" friend Spider (John Stockwell, Top Gun) and head south-of-the-border. Now, in a hilariously raunchy search for cheap booze -- and even cheaper thrills -- the intrepid trio will run into fast-food floozies, crooked cops and a close encounter with a doubting would-be divorcee (Long) that will change Woody's life forever!

Maybe in 1982 this movie was cutting edge and hilarious, but in 2011 it seems dated and excessively crude. And not in a good way, like other 80s teen comedies might. I have to say this could be Tom Cruise's worst movie ever, and thats saying something.not the worst movie - polkaroo79
I am a huge fan of cheesy 80's movies and while I agree that this is not one of the greatest ones made it definately isn't the worst. I agree that there isn't a lot of chemistry between Tom Cruise and Shelly Long but it does have a few funny moments. Overall, unless you are a huge 80's cheese fan I probably wouldn't recommend this movieWoof - sarafina
This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen and I have rented stinkers such as "He Man" the Live Action with Dolph Lundgren as well as "Sex Appeal," which now comes in at #2. Not only is the plot thin and lame, but Tom Cruise and Shelley Long have zero chemistry and the ugliest actor alive including Clint Howard has A LOT of screen time. Boo. Nothing happens, this armpit of a film isn't even good to poke fun at. Don't look twice at this travesty.
