(VHS, Magnetic Video Corporation)
Teen comedy set in 1969 in which Steve Guttenberg plays a graduating senior with a crush on class beauty Lisa Reeves. She leads him on but always leaves him wanting more. He finally arranges to get an empty apartment for them, but when he is sent out for a condom he returns to find her missing and the police after him as a peeping tom. She shrugs him off but they meet again at a party after the prom, with more chaos ensuing. The comedy is offset by the drama of his controversial antiwar editorial in the school newspaper which may get him expelled before graduation. His brother, an even younger teen, is rather recklessly portrayed as smoking pot, popping Valium and drinking champagne, then having sex with his preteen girlfriend! Phil Silvers is his overbearing, loud mouthed boss at a local fast food chicken place, who becomes a sort of father figure when his brother gets arrested and helps bail him out.
