Barcode and Other Identifiers

If you've seen "The Last American Virgin", you've never forgotten the ending. Both that movie and this its inspiration are surprisingly emotionally effective toward the end. The movie is never funny (very few teen sex comedies are) but at least it makes you feel something other than boredom or disgust. The hero is also relatable as someone who has emotional feelings as well as sexual ones, and does not just want to get laid. Welcome to yet another movie that got me in trouble when Becca came down and saw a scene out of context, 1978's Israeli coming of age movie Lemon Popsicle/Eskimo Limon.

The story is your simple boy meets girl and falls in love in 50's Israel. He tries to get her attention, but to no avail (she's not interested). He has two schoolyard friends and when the good looking, confident boy of the trio sets his sights on his dream girl he isn't able to say or do anything. Saying anything more would venture into spoiler territory and give away the third act. Eskimo Limon", or "Lemon Popsicle" in English, is an Israeli-West German film which can be seen as a forerunner to all those eighties teen sex comedies like "Porky's", "Screwballs", and especially "The Last American Virgin", which is a remake of it. It was hugely successful in Israel and West Germany, spawning no less than an incredible eight sequels. This was released in the UK on video in the early 1980's. It's the story of Benji, Bobby and Huey, well atleast those were the names in the English translation. This is an Israeli [not sure if that's how you spell that but you get the point] movie. It tells the story of the Boys search for Love and..... Sex basically. Making the point early on that the two are not necessarily connected. If you're reading this and saying, "Sam, are you describing The Last American Virgin?" Congratulations. Writer and director Boaz Davidson remade this movie four years later in the United States, destroying minds and reaping souls.Israeli teen sex comedy Lemon Popsicle was without a doubt a trip down memory for co-writer and director Boaz Davidson, who would have been a teenager himself at the time that the film is set: the late-1950s/early-'60s. Watching the film is also a big dose of nostalgia for me, reminding me of the early '80s when my teenage self and my best friend would attempt to hire the most racy videos from the local rental shop. The shop-keeper wouldn't let us have any of the Electric Blue titles from the top shelf (although we did somehow manage to rent a heavily-edited version of Dracula Exotica on one occasion); more often than not we would make do with one of the Lemon Popsicle films, which the man behind the counter was happy to let us take home despite the 18 certificates. Three high school seniors preparing for final exams in the early 1960s have the normal teenage concerns about girls, sex and relationships. They try to find out if going steady with one girlfriend is better or if changing girlfriends all the time makes for too many complications. By the end of summer, all things get better. [9] Cast [ edit ] The only real through-line to the movie is the main character, Benji's love for a girl, and helping her out when she gets pregnant to his friend which leads to a surprisingly distressing abortion scene where the girl is clearly distraught and the doctor is callous toward her.
