Review of Little Darlings (1980) by Stephanie M — 12 Jul 2009
No film has ever quite "gotton" teen girls and sex like this one did. I love the casting too. Pretty girls, don't get me wrong, but not in any super-duper unreal way and all do an AMAZING job of not being "types." And I love to no end that the only brain dead person in the bunch is Matt Dillon's character.
Opening scene one of my favorites of all time: Kristy McNichol being all BA and having some jerk hit on her only for her to turn around, smile, and kick him in the crotch. Perfectly encapsulating what this movie is about.
Quite possibly the best female coming-of-age film I have ever seen. Funny, well performed and genuine this movie really encapsulates being a teenage girl and all the confusion, horniess, and fear that goes along with sex. Can not recommend this movie enough, takes the teen sexploitation film to a whole new level.
