The best part of this film is the choice of leads. The three fresh-faced youths who are completely absorbed in the effects of hormonal changes in their bodies play their roles in an amusing and pleasant manner. Unfortunately, the material they have to work with is poor with scarcely a fresh idea. Originality is important for my enjoyment, but I was just a short way into this film when I realized I had seen most of these antics before in the well-known well-promoted "American Pie". Just substitute warm spaghetti for the apple tart and you finish up with the same odd-flavoured meal. I have to admit that the tangled spaghetti hanging between the boy's legs is a comical invention of the writer. Bowel problems, vomiting attacks and masturbation are common to both films, but somehow the American version is much funnier. Knocking on the bedroom and bathroom doors when the boys are concentrating on an accurate measurement of their rod to see if it complies with the average statistics is an amusing moment for most men who have at some time or another worried unnecessarily about their own dimensions.

The vomit scene which comes unexpectedly may surprise some, but I have seen this happen in a movie theatre drenching the patrons in front. Unstoppable and so embarrassing!

One gathers from the film that girls are much better informed about the mysteries of sex than the somewhat innocent and naive boys trying to work out what's what as they approach manhood.

The film ends on a quieter note after all the suggestive goings-on indicating that lust is not the prime objective, but that it is true love that we are all searching for.
