Hot Bubblegum

1981 · 90 min

A breezy, cheeky teen sex comedy that coasts on nostalgia and awkward laughs, with little emotional depth.

Tagline: The Lemon Popsicle boys are at it again!
Overview: Further adventures of Bobby, Benji, and Huey in their pursuit of sex in the 50's. While preparing for their final exams, they try to work out if it's better to be going steady with one girl, and if changing girlfriends all the time leads to too many complications. This leads to frustrations with girls who wont go all the way, and problems with girls will go all the way with anyone!
How it feels: Light, campy, romantic and absurd. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Coming-of-age, friendship, love, sexuality
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
