Thanks for the memories!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Just recently watched this movie. Was excited to see it because I've always been a big fan of actors William Katt and Susan Dey, two "good kids" that I grew up with from the days of The Greatest American Hero and The Partridge Family, respectively. So imagine my surprise at the crude language and nude scenes. It was so totally unexpected, I got sick just watching it. Even the actors (especially Katt) seemed stilted in their roles. Needless to say, I was disappointed. The casting was poor, the acting left a lot to be desired and the plot was ho-hum. So if you are looking to watch a sweet romantic movie, move right along, this ain't it.

William Katt, hot off his star-jock role in "Carrie", failed to build upon his growing momentum with this extremely tepid affair, romancing an emotionally fragile college girl (Susan Dey) whose rocky childhood may keep her from trusting a man. Director Joan Darling, she riding high from the success of TV's "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman", gives us two good-looking kids, a lot of frank sex talk, but not much else. The picture has a scrubbed-clean look--like a sappy weeper straight out of the 1950s--and a scenario undermined by simpering simplicity. Energetic cast including Beverly D'Angelo, Robert Loggia and John Heard can't keep it from lapsing into blandness. * from ****

This is a nice movie. Simple and straightforward. It's about first love. Romance and hope for something more. Its a boys first experience with a girl who is a bit more worldly. It has some sexual scenes, but these are done well. It is not insulting nor nasty in any way. It is a non toxic film and I truly enjoyed it. I might be in the minority, but I am a sucker for movies like this I have seen it a number of times and I think I will eventually purchase it on DVD to have. If you enjoy nice films that make you think or cry or make you wax nostalgic, I think you will enjoy this one. A sweet guy meets a girl who is involved with an older gentleman. She is torn between the young guy who has yet to find himself and the older well established man who is seemingly well to do.These two people meet, have the start of what seems to be a beautiful relationship which eventually goes awry. It is touching and bittersweet. I adored the character played by a very young William Katt ( Greatest American hero Elgin is just so enamored of his new lady love (played by Susan Dey of the Partridge family), but she has secrets. I loved the song in the film which I cant remember. It is the perfect chick flick. A super movie to see on Valentines day or girls movie night and yes it will bore your boyfriend or husband to death, girls, you will love it and don't forget the tissues. I cry at the drop of a hat, but this one broke my heart.

William Katt is very cute as a sweet and naive college student learning about love and sex for the first time. The director does a good job conveying this simplicity as the overall motif for the film. A very appropriate Cat Stevens soundtrack also contributes to the proceedings. Susan Dey is quite good as Katt's older-woman love interest. Then, just when the film has us in its grip, it lets us go in an ending of meaningless platitudes. I still liked it overall, but felt a bit let down with the unimaginitve ending.
