The story of two adolescent boys who are guests at a Florida resort for the week-end. Their only interest is, of course, chasing girls, but fate has much more in store for them. Written by Anonymous
Take a typical 80's B-comedy, and give the two male leads to two actors who would go on to awards and world fame.
Believe me or not, Depp and Morrow take two stock characters and make the material seem that much better; suddenly Jack and Ben hold the film together, rather than just reacting to everything within a narrow character description. Okay, so it's not art, but it's interesting from a film education perspective, if nothing else.
The script and direction aren't bad either, for a 1980's sex romp. Would have liked to see the director go on to better material. Ah, well.
7/10, for effort and sheer amusement value.
