I grew up in this era, and it was a time when "living together" was a recently accepted practice, socially speaking, in even the smaller cities across the country. I had even lived in a rooming house where members of the opposite sex weren't even allowed outside of the common areas!
Demi Moore is cute as the female lead, and I think Rob Lowe plays more off of her instead of the other way around. The plot is great for it's times, but, 20 years later, it dates itself. If nothing else, it reminds me what it feels like when you just get into that first long-term relationship.
The really big thing that dates this movie is the roles played by Belushi & Perkins. Although played very well, friends like that don't act like that (for the most part) because of the strain they know they put on Lowe & Moore.
