What Kids Want to Know About Sex and Growing Up (1992)
Hooooly freakin' god...
Personally, I didn't know how to rate this, for this reason: The film is perfectly awful, and by this, I mean it is so bad, it is absolutely hysterical. A true 10-out-of-10 on the Unintentional Comedy Scale. As for its original purpose, a sex-ed video for adolescents, it is a miserable failure. Taken out of that context, however, and viewed (as it should be) as a comedy, it is priceless, more so when viewed after some alcoholic beverages, or in some altered state.
It basically jumps back and forth between our junior high school hosts, Stephanie Yu and Z-Right (and a more ethnic pairing I cannot think of) setting the scene (the earlier review mentions Z-Right talking about how he "Got pretty good on a skate-board!" and wanting to know about Hormones), some animated sequences of Doug and Patty from Nickelodeon's "Doug"--interesting point, if you've seen this, you've seen Doug and Patty's genitals--and perhaps the most rewarding section, the "kids and instructor Q&A." The boys Q&A has the more entertaining quotes, but the girls' Q&A features: R&B singer Ashanti in her debut, and her mustache in its final television appearance, asking if masturbation is okay, dirty tramp that she is; one girl mentioning how she left the house without a bra and her father made her come back; and the immortal line, "NO! I DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT!" Pure entertainment, and, if you're 12 years old or a moron, you might learn something. If you can find this movie, invite some friends and some alcohol (not the 12 year-olds), and prepare to giggle.
