A lighthearted 1980s sex comedy about a teenage boy's sexual awakening, driven by playful humor and the comedic premise of an older woman taking him under her wing.

Good-looking but virginal "rockstar" teen Tommy tries to score with some of the local high school girls. But a classmate's mom decides to make a man out of him.
