This whole film is basically a series of episodes where a horny youngster chases women. It is presented as a kind of coming of age story, but it's just a minimalist script with episodic structure. There are funny moments in it, but on the whole it's a rather empty experience. It is particularly problematic because it is ostensibly a family film, while in reality watching countless scenes with erotic content is likely to make a family viewing of the film a nightmare. Totally overrated film, and quite annoying at times. An irritating protagonist, too. I guess most people like it because of the iconic bakery scene, involving some hefty breast squeezing action.
