Four teenagers from Los Angeles travel to Tijuana, Mexico, on a mission to lose their virginity. Along the way, they pick up a woman named Kathy, who goes with them because she wants a fast divorce from her husband. Together, the five get into a series of hijinks and misadventures south of the border.
Inoffensive of this kind (except for the usual array of stock Mexicans), but wholly unoriginal.
The New York Times by Janet Maslin
Losin' It isn't without its likable moments, but it isn't overloaded with them, either.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Jay Scott
It is an agreeable example of how a picture conceived as "product" need not condescend to the audience it exploits. [11 Apr 1983]
In an apocalyptic future, two rebels join forces.
