Too many complaints about sex...

First off, I was not alive when this movie came out, and although some parts are cheesy and rather amusing, I found this movie enjoyable to say the least. I think the fact that the two main characters, Richard (Atkins) and Emmaline (Shields), have been alone for a good majority of their life without any parental guidance is what sets the movie apart from others. The two children were left with the little knowledge they had gained and each other. They had to discover every hardship alone. Some people have complained that the fact they were cousins was disturbing. But, one must remember that there was no one there to teach them the difference between right and wrong. No one was there to tell them they should where clothes around other people. I think it was important for the audience to see them discover sex by themselves and to experiment with the pleasures it holds. So, if you're not into the whole cousin/nudity thing, then this movie isn't for you. But, if you enjoy movies that make you enjoy the little things in life and appreciate everything you know, then this is a good movie to watch.

One of my teenage guilty pleasures

Beautiful young people starring in a beautifully shot, silly movie. This won't win any award, but I know it holds a special place in the teenage hearts of lots women of a certain age.
