    A Delightful Romp of an 80s Teen Flick

    Even though this movie is an "80s" movie, it still stands out a bit on its own. It's a raunchy sexually charged teen flick that has grown adults who are hard pressed to pass as teenagers, well, acting as teenagers.

    This flick is a mindless, offbeat teen entertainment sprinkled with sexual stimulus throughout. It does what it does. They don't hand out Academy awards for this type of movie.

    This was probable the 1st rated R movie I ever saw. I was about 9 years old at the time. And cable tv then had a button on the remote that would unscramble whichever 'Pay Per View' movie you wanted to see and it charge your monthly bill. However, I had discovered if you didn't watch more than 30 seconds at a time, you would never get charged. This movie had me coming back in 30 second bits until I saw it all. My only complaint was how they got out of the cave. Just when things were getting the most interesting. I the movie could have been 5 minutes longer at the end.

    I see a few reviewers mentioning how ugly the women are in the movie. Not only do I disagree, I find that just an excuse to be mean to people. These women rock it on camera. This movie holds a special place in my erotic comedy heart. And I come back to it from time to time. I don't do that with a lot of movies.

    Did you know: that Madonna could star in this sexy comedy!

    I saw these little films on YT... produced by those geniuses at TROMA! I must say that I didn't expect anything different from what I saw: typical 80s TROMA trash film; sexy comedy Porky's Vacanziero style; stupid comedy with no point but which in the end is funny!

    There is a small part of an unknown Vicent D'Onofrio, who plays the idiot of the group... The actors don't have any great experience; but they are sexy and the erotic scenes are enjoyable.

    Too bad Hertz didn't choose Madonna for the part of Annie... Imagine Madonna pre-fame in some sex scenes... If the film had been released with the same style as in the 80's, it would have been a great success!! Everyone at the time wanted to see Madonna naked!!

    A Troma teen sex comedy

    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).

    pales in comparison to American Pie??!!!

    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.

    Hope this could have turned on properly

    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
