Review of Losin' It

Losin' It (1982)
5/10
Unlikeable characters and gross premise
5 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Look, it's not high art, but even as a sex comedy it fails. The characters are totally unlikeable or bland and the entire plot line of going to Mexico to hire hookers is gross. For an hour or so the movie plays as just a kind of bland look at jerks who want to pay for sex. There's no chemistry between Shelly Long and Tom Cruise and Jackie Earl Haley is really annoying. But then, something happens at the end and the movie manages to salvage everything with a decent little ending car chase sequence that manages to tie it all up in a nice way. It can't be a raunch classic because there wasn't enough nudity or hijinks, but as a historical curiosity I guess you could do worse.
