The First Turn-On!!

One of Troma's first entries in the teen sex comedy genre, it is average at best. "The First Turn On!!" is about a bunch of idiot teen campers and a female counselor get stuck in a cave and "describe" their first sexual encounters.

This is a pretty subaverage fare for even Troma films. In the world of teenage sex romps it pales in comparison to recent films such as "American Pie" and "Road Trip."

There are some highlights in this film. This was a first film for Vincent D'Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket, Feeling Minnesota, Men in Black, Steal this Movie!) as a fat loser and a funny cameo by comedian and all-around nice guy Rondell Sheridan as a gang member.

The real gem of this movie is the sound track from the seminal new wave band "Shrapnel" featuring some of their best (and unreleased) stuff. Hearing the song "Sleep Over" and the goofy performances by Sheridan and D'Onofrio are worth giving this film a watch on cable or a $1.00 rental (but not much else).

The First Turn-On!! Attempts to deliver a quirky, sex-fueled teen comedy but ends up lost in its own bizarre tone and uneven pacing. With a cast made up of mostly unknown actors and a plot that wanders through strange, disconnected scenarios, the film struggles to find its footing between absurdity and amusement.

There are a few moments that might earn a chuckle-mainly due to their sheer randomness-but they're far and few between. Most of the humor leans awkward or outdated, and the movie often feels like it's trying too hard to be shocking or edgy without much payoff.

It's weird, messy, and ultimately forgettable. Not the worst of its genre, but certainly not one worth seeking out unless you're into obscure cult oddities. 3/10.

My interest in this film was purely as a fan of Vincent D'Onofrio..and this is his first ever movie made at the tender age of twenty four. His role is small however, but his character is actually quite funny. He plays a psychotic,brainless teenager called Lobotomy..and oh, how his acting improved over the years! The film itself is a carry on movie meets Airplane! lots of silly humour and innuendo. It's set at a kids summer camp with dubious members of staff and centres around four teens and a dizzy blonde staff members stories of their first seductions..it is funny in parts but also very silly. It's not a bad film, just a piece of inane fluff.

J. Canker Huxley doesn't know what he's talking about. American Pie is garbage. It isn't funny. The First Turn-On is a classic from the days when there were such things as "teenage sex romps." It has no aspirations other than to amuse and to exploit. Movies like Road Trip and American Pie want to have their cake and eat it too---they try to be lewd and crude, yet still contain a "message" or be moral. The First Turn-On has no morals and therefore succeeds in being entertaining.

The first turn on is a sexy comedy directed by Lloyd Kaufman & Michael Herz and stars Georgia Harrel, Michael Sanville, Googy Gress? John Flood, Heidi Miller, Sheila Kennedy and Vincent D'onofrio

The movie is based on the stories of first sex experience of campers stuck in a cave.

This is not a good movie in any context but a fun sex comedy. It's has it's own good punch lines and humour but disappoints majorly.

The acting is nice but editing and screenplay is bad. So as the background music which is sometimes too high and doesn't supports the original screenplay. The pace of the movie is good.

Overall a ok movie which could've good provided with more refined work of editing and screenplay. You can watch if you are fan of adult sex comedies
