Best movie of this year hands down!

Fantastic!

Excellent but underrated film

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Losin' It is teen sex comedy.The setting was in 1965.It which follows four school friends namely:Woody, Dave, Spider, Wendell.They are from Los Angeles who got to travel south border of Mexico in Tijuana.They were accompanied by Kathy,a woman who plans of having a quick divorce from her husband.The LA friends and Kathy got into a lot of misadventures causing trouble.Aside from that,the LA friends made a pact to lose their virginity before their trip is over.Woody lost his when he spent the night with Kathy.Losin' It was an average teen sex comedy.The story was predictable.The laughs aren't really that funny.The acting was mediocre even from future stars,Tom Cruise,who played Woody; and Shelley Long,who played Kathy.The direction was also lacking from future Oscar-winning director,Curtis Hanson.Obviously,it also was a low-budget production as evidence by the quality of the film. The only good thing about this movie is the performance of Jackie Earle Haley,who stole the show in this film.Overall,Losin' It would have been a forgettable film if only Cruise,Long and Hanson did not achieve future success in their careers.Also,it reminded us how talented actor Jackie Earle Haley should keep getting movie roles and continue making films.

I wasn't expecting a whole lot from this movie, but was still disappointed, but not upset, for this flick did have its moments, even if not laugh-wise.A reasonable cast that would go on to bigger and better things is something positive and whilst "Losin' It" didn't have a whole lot laugh wise, there was some good drama - Tom Cruise saying goodbye to Shelley Long, Spider being thrown in jail and Cruise backing out of "losin' it" at the last minute with the sincere hooker being the highlights. Despite lacking laugh out loud humor, "Losin' It" for me worked as a coming of age light Drama, and for that alone it deserves 5/10.

Losin' It is a pretty funny roadtrip movie, thanks to the comedic antics of Jackie Earle Haley ('Breaking Away') who plays Dave, an oversexed kid desperate from some action during a weekend in Mexico. He and his buddies, Woody (Tom Cruise) clean cut shy kid, headlong Spider (the gorgeous John Stockwell) and Dave's clever brother Wendell (John P. Navin Jr.), embark on a wild roadtrip to lust after girls and underaged booze in 1965.Each of the guys has their own experiences with love and mischief. Woody spends most of the time with Kathy (Shelly Long), a flamboyant older woman who hitched a ride with the boys to get a quickie divorce. Spider, the ego, abandons the group and frequently gets in trouble with a corrupt sheriff. Wendell, who came along for lots of black market goodies, spends the weekend trying to save his brother's ass, since Dave's misconception that the town is full of easy women gets him in heavy trouble with the locals.It's a pretty funny movie that I'm surprised hasn't been given more notoriety among 80s fans. Tom Cruise and John Stockwell played their typical characters, but the stars of this movie, were really Jackie Earle Haley and John Navin. They were perfect.

I thought that this movie was very funny the first time I saw it ten years ago, and I still do today. This is a movie that is in the same genre as Porky's or Revenge of the Nerds. True fact, Tom Cruise said in a Playboy interview that he did this movie because of Jackie Earle Haley. Since Haley had been in Breaking Away, Cruise figured that this movie would be just as good. It didn't quite work out the way he expected, at least not right away. Cruise fan or not, it's worth a look. For me, Jackie pretty much steals every scene he's in. Anytime I watch this movie, I have to laugh at Tom Cruise because he ended up becoming one of the biggest stars in the movie world, and he started out in this. If you REALLY want to see Cruise in another light, check out Endless Love, with Brooke Shields. It's his first movie, and though he's in it for less than a minute, it's worth a look, just like Losin' It. Check it out!
