O Último Americano Virgem

Nobody who has seen "The Last American Virgin" has ever forgotten its ending. This is not just because of the emotional punch it provides, but also because it's surprising that a movie like this went for pathos, when they were usually content with lame jokes and the occasional bare breast.

"The Last American Virgin" does have those things, don't get me wrong. It is the usual escapades of teens trying to lose their virginity and being foiled in a variety of ways, such as the insane husband of a seductress coming home unexpectedly and the lads having to beat a fast retreat. I'm surprised they didn't go for the girl-turns-out-to-be-a-guy thing.

It's the typical teenage silliness, and then the ending hits. That, along with the performance of the main actor, who for once generates some kind of sympathy, and the presence of the beautiful Diane Franklin, all put "The Last American Virgin" a cut above the average '80s teen sex flick.
