Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
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.
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.
daworldismine lemon popsicle is one of my favourite movies of all time, its very very funny, so i couldn't wait to see the sequel, and i can gladly say that this is just as funny as the first if not funnier. even though the movie is going through familier territory than the original, thats exatcly what people want from these movies, its why there loved so much. its not all sex and gross out gags though, the movie tackles real problems with realism that most movies of this genre just dosen't have. so come on the movie was never going to be a masterpiece, but as a teen sex comedy, this along with the original are 2 of the best, i recommend this movie
gangstahippie Rated R for Language and Sexual Content Going Steady aka Lemon Popsicle 2 is the sequel to the 1978 Isreali film Lemon Popsicle.As of October 28 2007, the first three lemon popsicles are available to watch on youtube dubbed in English and the fourth one is coming soon.The original Lemon Popsicle was remade in the United States as The Last American Virgin which I have yet to see.Anyway Going Steady is better than the first film in my opinion.The first film had some funny parts but it was mostly depressing(especially the ending).The sequel is much funnier but also has plenty of drama as well.One problem I have with the sequel was that it never explains how Benji and Bobby became friends again.After the events of the first film, I would think that their friendship was over but the second film shows them as friends as if none of the events of the first film happened.That's my only problem with this sequel.The film is about three friends in the late 50's or early 60's and their misadventures with sex.If you like teen sex comedies, I suggest looking for the Lemon Popsicle series.
