Little Darlings (1980)


Paramount Pictures
Directed by Ronald F. Maxwell
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, Paramount)
(Turner Classic Movies)

Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol bow to teenage peer pressure and make a bet at summer camp, the winner being the first to lose their virginity. O'Neal falls for camp teacher Armand Assante. She visits him in his cabin, where he keeps plenty of beer and wine on hand, but she can't convince him to seduce her. Meanwhile, McNichol pursues Matt Dillon, the bad boy across the lake. They eventually do have sex in a boathouse, but she doesn't tell anyone because she really is in love with him. It's melodramatic teen nonsense, with McNichol turning on the water works not once but three times in an effort to "act". Dillon mumbles his lines while taking off his shirt and O'Neal, well I can't quite figure out what she does in this movie.
