This is the beautiful and romantic story of a couple of people in the outskirts of New York discovering their first love. The two main characters (Victor Rasuk and Judy Marte) are both blessed with exceptionally good looks and suffer from a problem of attitude. At first they seem to lack the intellectual capacities to overcome this, but then... The film starts with some nice yokes and one-liners ("At least you've got fat Donna") but as the plot develops, the story becomes so simple that it is hard to keep your attention. The film is saved by some charming, subdued scenes (drama with not much words), and the looks of the main characters - unfortunately for the viewers with light pornographic interests, the romantic parts are well dosed. Melonie Diaz and Krystal Rodriguez do - by the way - an excellent job in supporting roles.
