Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Leofwine_draca This is probably one of the most obscure features I've yet to see on late night television, and on watching THE VIRGIN QUEEN OF ST. FRANCIS HIGH you quickly realise why you never heard of it before: it's poor, as poor as the usual fare from Crown International Pictures. The only difference with this one is that it's Canadian, but otherwise it's a cookie cutter romantic comedy.The plot is simplistic stuff about two guys who make a bet that one of them can score with the school's 'virgin queen'. The rest of the film sees the guy trying to do so, but real romance gradually gets in the way. It's as trite as it sounds, mixing dumb jokes with sentiment, and the acting is notably poor here. Joseph Straface comes across as desperate and creepy, and Stacy Christensen has virtually none of the charisma you'd expect from someone so supposedly alluring.As usual, the film is marred by cheap production values and a general lack of ineptness which makes it quickly boring. You'd be better off with a John Hughes film from the same era; at least they were well written, and thus popular for a reason.

Woodyanders Shy and insecure nerd Mike (a fine and likable portrayal by Joseph R. Straface) makes a $2,000 dollar bet with smarmy jerk big man on campus Randy (a pleasingly obnoxious turn by Lee Barringer) that he can deflower Diane (a wonderfully sweet and beguiling performance by the adorable Stacy Christensen), who's the most popular girl in high school. However, things get complicated when Mike falls in love with Diane. Writer/director Francesco Lucente takes a premise that could have been easily done as your basic crassly pandering raunchy smut and instead treats it with surprising taste, warmth, heart, and even genuine charm: There's a touching and good-natured affinity and sensitivity for the appealing main characters that's impossible to dislike or resist, Mike's fantasies are both funny and witty (the James Bond send-up are especially amusing), and the upbeat conclusion doesn't comes across as remotely forced or too sappy. Straface and Christensen both do terrific work in the lead roles; they receive fine support from J.T. Wotton as Mike's loyal, long-suffering friend Charles, Anna Lisa Iapaolo as Diane's sarcastic best gal pal Judy, and Bev Wotton as Diane's strict, overprotective mother. Joseph Bitonti's bright cinematography gives this movie an attractive sunny look. The bouncy rock soundtrack keeps things bubbling along. A real sleeper.

love1982 The other day I found this video at a bookstore by chance, and I wonder how come Hollywood does not make such innocent movie anymore rather than making those filthy ones. Mike (Joseph R. Straface) appears as a shy boy, and he is such a sweet actor. I fell in love with him and I watched this video many times. Of course I recommended to my friends. Also the music was great and if you like top gun soundtrack or 80's sound then you will definitely love this one. My recommended tracks are "wait for another day" (theme of this movie) and "strange things to remember". I was surprised that "paradise bungalows" and the hotel where Mike said his father own the place (Banff springs hotel) really exists in Canada. If you are looking for a fresh, innocent movie then please check this out!

MoJo-28 my friends and i rented it, expecting a cheesey soft porn, and not until after watching the entire movie(which seemed to go on forever), did we realize it had only received a pg-13 rating, and it was like a really bad sitcom that dragged on for hours. i do not by any means recommend this movie!
