Synopsis
There is hardly any variation on the stereotyped teens-and-sex movie in this story about four high school seniors who travel to Mexico to find a brothel and have something to brag about when they get back home. Among the four is the sensitive Woody (
Tom Cruise
) who is not sure he wants this trip, the nerd Wendell (John P. Navin, Jr.), the jock Spider (
John Stockwell
), and the big-talker Dave (
Jackie Earle Haley
). As the four set off on their adventure, they give a ride to Kathy (
Shelley Long
), a woman who is a bit ditsy, but decent, going to Mexico to get a divorce from her husband. Once south of the border the quintet meet up with a wide range of clichéd Mexican types and work out their individual experiences in the manner to which teen movies are accustomed. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
