Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is technically a remake of the 1981 film starring Brooke Shields, though the original was a massive bomb despite its infamous title song.
Alex Pettyfer was Hollywood's 'next big thing' in this era after Magic Mike, and this film basically ended that campaign. The 2014 'steamy YA adaptation' pipeline was brutal.
