"A bizarre combination of bawdy sexual humor and bittersweet teenage pathos ... this remains one of the most notorious, and curiously beloved, sex comedies of the 1980s." - DVD JOURNAL

"See it or be it!"
This prime slab of "let's get laid" teen-comedy goodness from the early 1980s not only exploits horny high-schooler antics better than most any other film of the genre, it also tries to touch the viewer's heart (among other body parts) by exploring the real aguish of unrequited love.
Nice guy Gary (Lawrence Monoson) falls for Karen (80s teen-fave Diane Franklin, star of Better Off Dead), a cute classmate who won't return his affections. Gary, aka the Last American Virgin, yearns for true love, but first must experience the more down-to-earth pleasures of the mysterious act that many refer to as "sex." In order to make that magical moment happen, Gary and his horny pals (Steve Antin and Joe Rubbo) find themselves in a series of increasingly ridiculous adventures that usually end with them running down the street in their underwear, battling crab lice, or getting kicked in the groin. Despite the pressure to get it on, Gary wants his first time to be special, and he'll do anything to win the hand of the unobtainable Karen, leading to one of the most surprising endings of any teen movie of the 80s.
The Last American Virgin features abundant nudity (most of it awkward), a rocking soundtrack of new wave '80s hits, and plenty of hair mousse, but it's genuine hormonal angst that has given the flick its enduring status as a cult favorite.
