Goin' All the Way!

A guy tries to pressure his virginal girlfriend into goin' all the way with him. A really bad movie, even by the standards the teen comedy genre of the 80's set. Featuring some of the worse acting, and direction to grace the screen in a long time, this is best described as avoid at all cost. And it looks like most people did. My rating: 1 out of 10.

Typical teen sex romp. Guy wants to pressure his girl into sex. She's having none of it. Sexy "it" girl, does want to "do it" with our hero. Football playing bully, and boyfriend of "it girl", wants to kick the ass of said guy. Guy winds up in convertible with two good looking chicks and his best bud. One girl goes topless. Guys partner off with girls and begin making out. Friend gets avarice, and starts reaching up girl's skirt. He yelps in horror "Dude, this chicks a guy!" Hahahahahahaha, funniest scene ever in a movie. Later on, bully has sex with grotesque looking weightlifter chick (she is credited as a female)...he dumps her. She wants revenge, she gets bully drunk, then she and two other women from the German weightlifting team pummel him. Good girl hooks up with "Roger" a college age BMOC. She thinks of having sex with him, doesn't. Guy eventually ends up with his girl. Never having sex. But that's okay because he'll always have his story of the make-out session with the chick who's really a dude.

Saw this when it was first released, and I wished I could have gotten a refund on the ticket price. There's not anything to recommend this. Nudity, hardly any. Comedy, nope, not there either. Looks like someone had no idea what teen sex comedies were all about, and slapped together some hot mess, hoping to capitalize on the success of "Porky's" They missed by a mile. I wouldn't even watch this as a late night free movie offering, it's a waste of time. Skip this, it's pathetic.

"Goin' All The Way" is a largely unknown film today and most of the people who worked on it (with the most notable exception being Eileen Davidson) never did much else in their cinematic careers. And yet it is a painless little film (the short running time helps) that is not nearly as bad as you might have expected. Of course the outcome is predictable right from the opening scene, and after a while the lack of any strong story becomes noticeable. However, the film benefits from the winning, natural performances of its cast - their characters may be stereotypes but they are played with enough sincerity to become likable (they do look a bit too old to be high school seniors, though). If you're looking for laughs, you're most likely to get them during the classroom scenes. **1/2 out of 4.

Like an old VHS tape that's been eaten by the vcr.
