Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Comedy about the sexual adventures of a clumsy, ordinary youth who nevertheless has a way with girls. It's pretty much what you'd expect from an Australian cinema enjoying its first phase of liberal censorship: an adolescent insistence on outraging 'decency' with a display of sundry organs, tits and bums; a story that could well have been written as they were going along; and jokes comprising a barrage of appalling double entendres. Ponderous at every level.Author: CPe
