Naive Midwestern prep student Jonathan bonds with his more worldly roommate, Skip, who takes the small-town boy under his wing. At Skip's urging, the inexperienced Jonathan is emboldened to seek out older women in the cocktail lounges of nearby Chicago, where he meets and beds the alluring Ellen, who unfortunately turns out to be Skip's mother. The division between the friends is further deepened when a cheating scandal engulfs the school.
A woman acts very reckless, as if she is suicidal, like leaning off the top of a tall building, having sex with random guys, mixing lots of alcohol with pills, etc.
Two best friends and roommates get into a pretty big physical fight. A husband is verbally abusive to his wife. The wife drinks a lot, in front of her son, his friend, her and husband. She clearly has a drinking problem, which may remind people of abusive, drunk parents. That's why I mention it in this section.
21 minutes in: the boys are at a meeting with girls for a dance council and the girl serving food and talking gets startled and mad from seeing Jonathan that they bump and trip around, causing her shirt to be ripped and one of her breasts is exposed.
No, but there is some stupid machismo crap, like bottling up your feeling and then fighting instead of talking about it. That was considered normal for the time.
About 19 minutes in: Jonathan and Skip sneak out and pick up girls in their car. They’re driving and talking and Jonathan is sick (audio, not sure about visual because I closed my eyes lol) and then the next scene they’re hosing off the seats. Not sure if there’s visual either. The audio is cheesy and didn’t bother me at all but I still didn’t want to look.
