    A typical sexual rite-of-passage movie, overlaid with dubious eighties concerns about making money and wearing the right designer clothes. There is something queasily tacky about the fragrant Jacqueline Bisset debagging her son's school friend in a glass-sided lift, and the rest of this distinctly self-satisfied movie is full of the kind of personal selfishness that takes you back to the decade of materialism. The characters lack any form of compassion or self-doubt — essential ingredients for a believable movie about teenage sexual awakening.

    No class whatsoever

    Bizarre Freudian nightmare in which horrible spoilt rich boy, desperate to lose his virginity, ends up copping off with his best friend's alcoholic mother. It's difficult to know what makes 'Class' so dislikeable. Perhaps it's watching two of the Brat Pack's least talented members (Andrew McCarthy and Rob Lowe, whose smug face and comb-over haircut makes you want to punch the screen). Perhaps it's the way in which Jacqueline Bisset as the sexy mother is entirely incidental to the plot, a device to test the protagonists' friendship, whose own problems are tossed aside in favour of the tedious boyish dilemmas. And maybe it's another wasted performance from the superb Cliff Robertson.

    This is a laugh-free comedy, with terrible performances, loathsome characters, and dismal sexual politics. Don't watch it - there are 21000 other films around here to prefer.

    Dated-only for die hard fans of Mc Carthy and Lowe

    I remember seeing this back in the 1980's and it seemed ok then. Watching it now and it seems really dated. Not many laughs in it and a fairly weak plot. Only for die hard fans of Andrew Mc Carthy and Rob Lowe.
