| 1 | * BestKnownForTheFanservice: The film is remembered for Creator/DemiMoore and Creator/MichelleJohnson's nude scenes, but above all for the scene in which Michelle Johnson's character takes a naked Polaroid selfie as part of an attempt to seduce her dad's best friend — who's played by Creator/MichaelCaine, making this a MayDecemberRomance with a large dose of {{Squick}}. Well, that and the controversy caused by the fact that Johnson's character is underage and Johnson at the time ''was actually underage'' in real life. (At least Demi was already legal.) |
| 2 | * HarsherInHindsight: The film's plot begins with Victor going through divorce, while Matthew is having marital problems. Director Stanley Donen and his wife Yvette Mimieux divorced a year after the film was released. |
| 3 | * OvershadowedByControversy: If the film is brought up nowadays, it's most likely because of the fact that the character of the underage girl who seduces an older man is actually played by a underage girl. |
| 4 | * ValuesDissonance: Let's just say that it would be ''incredibly'' hard as of late to make a movie about an underage girl sleeping with an older guy and market it in a comedic light. It would also ''definitely'' would not be done with the underage girl ''actually being played by an underage girl''. However... |
| 5 | * ValuesResonance: Despite the intended comedic premise, it can't be ignored that once Jennifer and Matthew finally confess respectively that they've slept together, her father Victor and Matthew's wife Karen are utterly ''disgusted'' and ''horrified'' at the prospect of an underage girl sleeping with an older man, as much as anyone would be nowadays, with Victor initially wanting to hunt down his daughter's older lover, and then, once he finds out the truth, his and Matthew's relationship is damaged very badly! |
