So, the basic question this movie ask is: When are they going to do it?


an insipid movie but I have to say I liked it as a kid... I was a horny kid.

It's a little more than that. What happens when you don't have the blessings and curses of society's expectations? When you don't have the advantages of being forewarned about the trials of adolescence, but don't have the disadvantages of prudery? When you don't have any learned fear of death because you don't actually get that people die? An instinctual tendency to avoid deadly things would be there, but not the learned fear.

Yeah, you kind of wonder "When are they going to do it?" but there's more than that to this story.



I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler.
