Class (1983)

Naïve prep schooler Andrew McCarthy is encouraged by his new roommate, Rob Lowe, to find someone to first have sex with. Unfortunately the one person he finds is Lowe’s still-married mother Jacqueline Bisset. The relationship between McCarthy and Bisset is oddly sweet, a meeting of two individuals currently at odds with their current life situations. Unfortunately the rest of the film settles for being a fairly typical 80s sex comedy which results in a very disjointing tone trying to put those two parts together. Along with McCarthy, the film does mark the debuts of a number of the generation’s actors: Virginia Madsen, John Cusack, and Casey Siemaszko.
