Losin' ItGiving away your virginity in some sex-pact is ludicrous - especially since you can sell it on the Internet.Unfortunately, the digital era is decades away in this 1960s set teen sex-comedy.Hell-bent on popping their cherries, three seniors, Woody (Tom Cruise), Dave (Jackie Earle Haley) and Spider (John Stockwell), head from L.A. to Tijuana in a 1957 Chevy intent on losing their virginity in a Mexican brothel. However, losing it is harder than it seems as the boys are tested at every turn by the corrupt local sheriff, a desperate housewife (Shelley Long) and a bad case of limp dick.Teeming with tons of testosterone-tinged hijinks involving cross-border prostitutes, fireworks and fabled aphrodisiacs this 1983 romp is a forgotten gem of the juvenile genre that features an exceptionally embarrassing performance from a young Tom Cruise. Moreover, for a man to lose his virginity, technically, he needs to be penetrated. Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

Losin' It is teen sex comedy.The setting was in 1965.It which follows four school friends namely:Woody, Dave, Spider, Wendell.They are from Los Angeles who got to travel south border of Mexico in Tijuana.They were accompanied by Kathy,a woman who plans of having a quick divorce from her husband.The LA friends and Kathy got into a lot of misadventures causing trouble.Aside from that,the LA friends made a pact to lose their virginity before their trip is over.Woody lost his when he spent the night with Kathy.Losin' It was an average teen sex comedy.The story was predictable.The laughs aren't really that funny.The acting was mediocre even from future stars,Tom Cruise,who played Woody; and Shelley Long,who played Kathy.The direction was also lacking from future Oscar-winning director,Curtis Hanson.Obviously,it also was a low-budget production as evidence by the quality of the film. The only good thing about this movie is the performance of Jackie Earle Haley,who stole the show in this film.Overall,Losin' It would have been a forgettable film if only Cruise,Long and Hanson did not achieve future success in their careers.Also,it reminded us how talented actor Jackie Earle Haley should keep getting movie roles and continue making films.

I wasn't expecting a whole lot from this movie, but was still disappointed, but not upset, for this flick did have its moments, even if not laugh-wise.A reasonable cast that would go on to bigger and better things is something positive and whilst "Losin' It" didn't have a whole lot laugh wise, there was some good drama - Tom Cruise saying goodbye to Shelley Long, Spider being thrown in jail and Cruise backing out of "losin' it" at the last minute with the sincere hooker being the highlights. Despite lacking laugh out loud humor, "Losin' It" for me worked as a coming of age light Drama, and for that alone it deserves 5/10.

I loved this movie cause it's so funny and it has the then unknown Tom Cruise and Shelley Long in this movie before they went onto fame later on the 80's, but the best performance goes to Jackie Earle Haley as Dave, who is a sex obsessed pal who is a Frank Sinatra wannabe, and I also liked John Stockwell's character Spyder who came from a broken home, Tom Cruise is the intellegent honor student. This movie is about 3 high school seniors who want to go to Tijuana in search of sex (without their parents knowing it) and things don't work out the way they want it as Dave's little brother Wendell 'Wimp' (John Navin) goes along for the ride and later they shoplift a grocery store and the owner's wife goes with them cause she claims that she's gonna divorce him and she finds out that they stoled some items at the grocery store but she didn't care, the situations that the boys got themselves in Tijuana are hilarious and they later meet crooked cops, insane marine sailors and junkyard ruffians, will they get out of Tijuana alive, will the three boys lose their virginity, in order to find out, watch this movie and it's way better than the movies of today, I think that Losin' It deserves more recognition than what it gets cause it's a funny movie and if you can find this movie at your local video store, rent it and have a good laugh, it's a great way to spend a weekend evening.
