Movie Info

Among the four is the sensitive Woody (Tom Cruise) who is not sure he wants this trip, the nerd Wendell (John P. Navin, Jr.), the jock Spider (John Stockwell), and the big-talker Dave (Jackie Earle Haley). As the four set off on their adventure, they give a ride to Kathy (Shelley Long), a

Curtis Hanson makes a commendable effort with a rather obvious story about three teenage boys who head for a wild weekend in Tijuana, hoping to trade hard cash for manly experience.

[It] isn't without its likable moments, but it isn't overloaded with them, either.

Inoffensive of this kind (except for the usual array of stock Mexicans), but wholly unoriginal.

[An] amiable, but entirely predictable trifle.

Not awful teen-sex flick; Tom Cruise fans should get a kick out of it.

This teen drama/comedy/adventure is fun for the most part and it has some good actors too, but it could be better, funnier mostly, but also it needs to be a bit more intense maybe? A different director maybe? I'm not sure, but it's pretty good the way it is.

Insipid junk notable only for early appearances of Tom Cruise and Shelley Long, that's NOT enough to sit through this.
