Review of Joy of Sex (1984) by Kris W — 17 Nov 2010
"Somewhere between Virginity and Senility lies Paradise.".
Directer Martha Collidge's follow up to Valley Girl, not nearly as good, then again, what is? Featrues a lot of the Valley Girl cast, including it's 3 main stars; Cameron Dye (Nic Cage's best friend Fred), Colleen Camp (the mother of Nic Cage's love interest), and Michelle Meyrink (the daughter that's competing with her milf mother for the delivery guy). Also, Ernie Hudso plays the principal, and Christopher Lloyd plays the gym teacher. Coolidge's next film was the seminal 80's comedy, Real Genius, with Val Kilmer.
