Overview: The comedy that puts the zip into being a teen, The Last American Virgin is the cult-classic 1980�s teen comedy about close-knit group of high school friends, Gary (Lawrence Monoson, Mask), the shy guy; his friend Rick (Steve Antin, The Goonies), the ladies man; and David (Joe Rubbo, Hot Chili), the comic foil, and their exploits in pursuit of love ... or at the very least, their first time!

Also starring Diane Franklin (Better Off Dead), Louisa Moritz (One Flew Over the Cuckoo�s Nest) and Kimmy Robertson (Twin Peaks), this funny, dramatic and nostalgic time capsule chronicles the ups and downs of friendship, romance, and the bittersweet memories of youth, set to a classic 80�s soundtrack.

Blu-ray Verdict: I remember first seeing the film 20 years ago in the Summer of 1991, a month before I entered High School for the first time. I knew this would be a film with lots of tits and ass, and the first half of the movie, it was just that!

A typical teenage comedy with three best pals trying desperately to get laid (Which all but one of them succeeded, the film�s main character, Gary) The scenes with two of the guys having sex with the Latina woman, with Gary not getting his opportunity as her lover comes home sooner than expected, was funny.

The scene where they all catch crabs from a prostitute is hilarious and classic, but that was just the first half of the film. However, the story line in the second half of the film, changes, and goes from very funny to very dark.

In the second part of the movie, Gary falls for pretty popular girl, Karen, who has eyes for Gary�s best pal, Rick. Rick is a popular, charismatic jock who happens to have a way with the ladies, while Gary is just a typical, shy, gawky teen.

Rick and Karen become a couple, and after having sex, Karen becomes pregnant with Rick�s child. Rick dumps her, and Gary comes to her defense. This love triangle puts a huge strain between the best friends, eventually ending the friendship.

While Rick starts dating another girl, and heads off on a ski trip with her and several friends, Gary pawns off most of his things, borrows money from his boss at the Pizza Parlor where he works, and comes up with the money needed for Karen to have an abortion.

Gary and Karen spend the weekend at his grandmother�s house while she is out of town, helping her to recuperate. While there, Gary finally professes his love to Karen, who seems to share the the attraction as the two share a passionate kiss together, and she invites him to her birthday party.

Gary uses the cash he has left to buy Karen a locket as a birthday present. However, at the party, Gary receives a huge surprise as Karen and Rick reconcile, and he catches the two making out. Crushed, Gary abruptly leaves her party, and drives home in tears, as the credits play to a song by James Ingram.

I have to admit, although the ending was sad, it was real. How many of us had that popular girl in high school we all coveted, only to have our hearts broken? I�ve been there so I�m sure many, many others have also.

Towards the end, it looked like that, as many viewers expected and wanted, myself included, that Gary would finally win the affections of his dream girl. But the way the movie ended, the makers of the film were very effective at fooling the audience when Karen tragically breaks Gary�s heart.

Of course, most, if not all, thought of Gary as the hero of the film, with Rick being the villain, and Karen as the damsel in distress whom the hero comes to her rescue. But in that scene where Gary catches Rick and Karen making out, Rick, although happy to get Karen back, has a look of regret on his face, as he knows his former best friend also loved her.

A look of, Hey man, I know you love her, but I also love her. Rick is also just a typical high school jock that panicked when he made a mistake that he knew would change his life forever.

Karen, however, had a smirk on her face, as she never intended to be with Gary, but was using him. She knew how Gary felt about her, and when he offered to help her, she was only too happy to take advantage of the situation. That moment, she, in my eyes, goes from being the damsel in distress to the real villain in the film.

Although the film provided lots of T&A, along with a LOT of laughs as advertised, it also provided a look at what many people in high school go through. The emotional roller coaster.

In closing, The Last American Virgin is a film that is a classic, and deserving of being called just that, for it is not only a comedy, but a thoughtfully crafted reveal of life in high school and how things don�t always pan out for the good guys.
