With the sudden prevalence of several sexually transmitted diseases during this particular time period, two young ladies by the names of "Stacy" (Lea Thompson) and "Melissa" (Victoria Jackson) become so concerned about the hazards of having sex that they decide to abstain from it completely. Unfortunately, after more than six months of this they soon become quite frustrated. So to remedy their situation they decide to go to a health spa for their vacation where they presume things will be safer. Although each of them initially have problems mingling with members of the opposite sex, Stacy eventually meets a young man named "Nick" (Stephen Shellen) and falls hopelessly in love. Melissa, on the other hand, has much more difficulty finding a suitable mate which only increases her despair. One particular area of concern, however, is an obnoxious young man named "Vinny" (Andrew Dice Clay) who all the women want to avoid yet seems determined to strike up a relationship with one of them anyway. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this is one of those comedies that captured this specific period of time quite well but seems to have lost some of its impact through the years. Even so, it does feature some cute scenes here and there along with some decent acting on the part of the aforementioned Andrew Dice Clay and Lea Thompson and for that reason I have rated this film accordingly. Slightly above average.
