7/10
Lighten Up Boys!

I always had a crush on Wyatt when I was younger. Maybe it was those blue pants? But Ilan's voice is just terrible when I watch it now. Other than that, he actually reminds me of an ex that was very cute and I should never have broken up with.

This film hit my funny bones at the right time, when I was about 13, so it will always be regarded highly by me, but I can see that it may seem a bit daft or crass by today's standards. They certainly throw the word f@gg@t around far too much to get away with now.

The performances are all a bit extreme and OTT, but that is the nature of the film and probably what makes it fun.

There is no denying that Kelly LeBrock was a very beautiful lady, but the sight of Bill Paxton's bottom always appealed to me more, despite his obnoxious character. Anthony Michael Hall is hilarious in the jazz bar, but it goes to far when he carries on in the car afterwards.

It's just silly 80's fun about two horny teenage boys, you can't go wrong if that's your thing.

712.15/1000.
