Movie Reviews of The Last American Virgin
Movie Review: The best 80s teen movie ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm so thrilled to see that The Last American Virgin is FINALLY released on DVD. I ordered it immediately and am very pleased. The picture quality on the DVD is nothing short of outstanding and the sound quality equally great. I'm so used to seeing my grainy VHS version of this movie it is almost like seeing an entirely different movie!The movie centers around Gary who is in love with Karen. Gary's character is so genuine- it is easy to relate to him and his feelings toward Karen. Last American Virgin does not have the typical happy ending that most teen flicks of the 80s had. The ending is realistic and very heart wrenching. This is in no way your average 80s teen movie. The issues covered in Last American Virgin can be applied to any time frame - yes, even today!
The Last American Virgin also has a great soundtrack with such artists as the Cars, Commodores, Devo, Journey, REO Speedwagon and Oingo Boingo!
It was definately worth the wait to finally see this movie get it's deserved treatment by being released on DVD. My only gripe is maybe a few more extras would have been nice. Maybe an interview with some of the cast members or some cut scenes.
Overall this movie is a great buy! 5 stars
Movie Review: One of the top teen flicks from the 80's.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's nice to give 5 stars, it's been rare for me lately... Buried underneath great 80's teen films like "HEATHERS (1989)", "FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (1982)", and "THE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985)" this amazing movie seemed to take a back seat. How did I miss it? I guess it had something to do with the fact that I was 7 years old when the film came out, But on the other hand "FAST TIMES" came out at the same time and it was all over the place. Perhaps this film was ignored due to "FAST TIMES" advertising tactics. When in fact this film is better. "THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN (1982)" is loaded with likable actors playing likable characters, an above average script, and a soundtrack that helps tell the story. The soundtrack is full of 80's rock favs., it works on all levels. As does this classic film that is more than just another teen movie. ~~>80's teen flick recap (all easy to find here on AMAZON.com) "Heathers" ***** ~~> "Fast times..." **** ~~> "The Breakfast Club" **** ~~> "The Last American Virgin" ***** the endMovie Review: Come To Carmela~ My Little Bur~itto!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The gods have answered FINALLY !!! This movie was the foundation for what TEEN movies were about SEX,DRUGS(sweet-n-low),ROCKNROLL watching this movie at 12 thinking oh my god is that what H.S. is like ??? What are crabs ??? wanting to experience it all. the roller coaster ride then POW!!!!! the PAIN of it all. To have such a simple movie stain my brain. Now 34 yrs. old wachting this movie every time i find it on cable thinking to my self "that aint right". like i`m the virgin watching for the first time. now living thru some of that RAW feeling that you just can`t ever think could cut so deep.(you now its still a teen movie!! its not Schindler list) but someone did cacht it on film. thinking when will someone put this on dvd ? 22yrs it took someone to get it together. I`m sure there some na sayers out there. However growing up MTV and such the music alone was worth the whole adventure one of the BEST sndtrks ever. hell its before sndtrk ever mattered. For crying out loud DUDE!!! he sold his hifi stereo with cassette player if that aint LOVE i don`t know what is ????? Peace~ Richard D. (Laura's husband)
Movie Review: A Funny and Heartbreaking Reality Check-one of the best comedies i've ever seen
Summary: 5 Stars
i wasn't even born when this film came out. i stumbled upon because i'm a big john hughs fan and someone recommended this to me because i was in a 80's teen comedy craze. I'm glad i did!! this film was hilarious and at first i thought there was no moral repracautions to what the characters were doing but i was completely slapped in the face when the leading actress said she was pregnant. the first 3/4 of this film is a pure raunchy teen comedy extravaganza but the last 1/4 is a heartbreaking drama and i appreciate that. This film brought back alot of memories in my personal life because i've been all three of those boys. i've been the nice guy who got completely dissed by the hottest girl in school for a complete a-hole, i've been the goofy fat guy who just seems to screw anybody for any reason, and i've been the a-hole who broke a lot of hearts and was a selfish prick. The way this film ends is heartbreaking and this is one of the few comedies that has a message and heart. a true masterpiece.Movie Review: A Forgotten and Over-Looked Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
This forgotten teen cult classic is just great!The horrible acting and plot makes it one heck of a gut-buster! You'll definitely want to add this to your B-Movie list.
But surprisingly, this movie doesn't only stand out for its sheer B-Movie brilliance, but also for its brave and unique tones. Unlike every other teen movie from the 80's- this drama/comedy deals with situations that are far more realistic, and in some ways more shocking than your average "Let's Get Laid" movie.
The ending is what earns the movie its 5th Star. Somehow, this raunchy screwball teen-flick manages to make the Gary character believable. You suddenly begin to feel for him, and when the story finally builds up to such an unexpected, negative and heartbreaking ending...it reminds you of just how unfair love can be.
A very good movie!
