REVIEW: What can be said here other than this is perhaps the greatest teen sex comedy ever made. Betsy Russell is a national treasure.
I fell in love with Betsy Russell in this movie. I do it again every time I rewatch it.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those films that touched all the bases with me: saw it in the cinema, rented the VHS, bought on DVD, bought on Blu Ray.
ReplyDeleteShe's great in Tomboy also.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, one of the best movies with the best shower scene, I will continue to follow you in 2025.Thanks VZ1
