The lucky und predictable purl of the movie, written und directed by Isrueli film maker Rouz Davidson, is the IF YOU'VE ONLY SEEN 'ROCKY iir "IRRESISTIBLE IT I REPREIHINa, PAST FUNNY A PenCIPTIVI." conventionally und crudely told story of three high school mule friends (Monoson, Steve Anlin und Joe Uuhbo) und their attempt: to score with their femulc schoolmates us well us their Inuugurul encounters with hookers und othe'r Older Women.

There is un episode involving Ixniisu rloritz und Monoson, Anlin und llubbo thul is particularly dislusteful und offensive. On the other hand, when the film deuls with Monoson, who drives a pizza truck und fulls in love with his best friend's girl (Diunc Franklin), it Is credible and universal. Franklin is uttruclivc und just friendly enough to whet Monoson's funlusy thut they could have a relationship together. Unrequited love is rendered ruefully by Davidson. The movie contains certain coarseness in its uttitude toward women.

With the exception of Monoson, the men treat the women as sexual objects to be used and taken without reciprocity. The misogyny is subtle and thereby more insinuating. "The Last American Virgin," rated for language, nudity and sex, contains more than 20 songs by groups such as Blondie, the Cars, the Commodores, the Police andDevo.
