This movie's dorky guy is Jonathan (Doug [=McKeon=]), who is friends with an extroverted nonconformist named Gene (Chris Nash). Shy Jonathan's goal is to win the heart of Marilyn (Creator/KellyPreston), and possibly lose his virginity in the process. Gene, meanwhile, develops a crush on Bunny (Creator/CatherineMaryStewart). What could possibly go wrong?

* ComingOfAgeStory: After the SexAsRiteOfPassage and after the drama with Gene, Jonathan does a lot of growing up and comes out more mature.
* {{Fanservice}}: Well, it is a sex comedy, so you have to have a scene where gorgeous Marilyn takes her clothes off for a sex scene with Jonathan.
* InUniverseSoundtrack: A good deal of the soundtrack plays from radios or somewhere else. Three of them play during the sex scene from a record player in Marylin's bedroom. No joke.
