i saw this movie in an entirely appropriate place a part of an all night quadruple feature at a cinema in northern ontario and which could have be more accurately describe a four lousy film for the price of one . ( for the record and the other three film be ghoulies and miss in action and ninja iii the domination ) . i would say that losin it be probably the best of these four film not that that really say very much . ( it be the concluding feature of a very long night of cinematic mediocrity ) . it not an awful film ( particularly compare with some of the other component of this multiple feature ) and and it have the advantage of have be put together by a crew who know what they be do . rather and it an assembly line teen film of the period and which be give somewhat more polish than usual by the presence of shelley long and the up and come tom cruise in the cast . two year previously in 1981 and porky establish a profitable template for teen film that many producer be still exploit today . i see losin it a a porky knock off and from a similar time and aim at a similar audience . essentially and if you be part of that target audience and you would probably have enjoy it . i be just pass out of the target demographic when i saw this and so perhaps i be more blasé about it than i might have be if i have see it a few year earlier . there a whole genre of teen sex comedy ( which try to tease the audience while dance around the fact that they can not really show very much ) that lose a lot of it impact once you have actually lose it yourself .
