morrison-dylan-fan After watching the first Lemon Popsicle,I could see the lasting impact the flick has had on the Teen Sex Comedy genre.With a box set of the first 7 by my side,I grabbed a second Popsicle.The plot:Since each losing their virginity, Benzi, Bobby and Huey have kept their friendship alive whilst having flings with any girl they have a chance with. Caught by surprise,Benzi crosses paths with a new girl in town called Tammy,who causes Benzi to think about "going steady" for the first time. View on the film:Returning to the series,co-writer/(along with Ken Globus and Eli Tavor) director Boaz Davidson & cinematographer Adam "Terminator 2" Greenberg smoke the film in an atmospheric blue mist that signals a somewhat more mature adventure with the guys. Despite the full screen DVD transfer denting some of the sight gags,Davidson's ear for a good tune and an eye for raunchy action still shines,via lingering shots on naked flesh,and a skillful grip on playing the perfect song to the criss-crossing romance.Gathering the guys up again,the screenplay by Davidson/ Globus and Tavor initially send the group out for a second round of light Sex Comedy. After keeping everything skin deep for the first flick,the writers impressively find heart in the sexy kicks by moving the movie to a harder edge Rom-Com,with the sweetness in Tammy and Benji's romance actually giving a reason to care about the characters. Only having 1971 Get Carter's "Woman in Post Office" as her other credit,alluring Yvonne Michaels gives a very good performance as Tammy,whose intense feelings for Benji are given a fragility by Michaels. Giving Benji more of a background, Yftach Katzur sums up the line the film is on,as Benji's desire for care- free sex hits a crossroads with Benji's need for going steady.

Rainey Dawn This movie I found to be kinda cute. It's not a great film but is a bit funny and may remind some people of their high school days. It's about stereo-typical teenagers.I'd say this movie is in category of "Last American Virgin" and "Porky's" with a feeling of "Grease" due to the 1950s setting. So it's not that bad of a watch.What I enjoyed the most about the movie is the music and the cars! The film has a good soundtrack and some really cool rides. The story was just so-so with some comical moments.4/10

Ben Larson The whole gang we saw in Lemon Popsicle is back. Benzi (Yftach Katzur) is now going after Tammy (Yvonne Michaels) with the same energy he devoted to Nikki in the first film.Martha (Rachel Steiner) was making eyes at Benz in the first movie, and she takes it to a whole new level in this film, but like Benz and Nikki, it is not destined to be.Benz and Tammy have their ups and downs, but Momo can't get this one.We still have the same great 50s soundtrack with songs by Jerry Lee Lewis, The Platters, The Champs and more. Even thought the movie is longer, they only have half the songs. Bummer.

annualman After the tremendous Lemon Popsicle, I could not wait to see Going Steady, the sequel. And I was not disappointed. Essentially more of the same, teenage romance, sex, parties, and a fantastic soundtrack, Going Steady still possesses enough originality to really work!! They do not make them like this any more, and that is a terrible shame. At least we got several more sequels from the series, including the excellent Hot Bubblegum (LP3) and the outstanding entry to the series, Baby Love (LP5). Track this one down and enjoy!! You will feel like a teenager again.
