Watched online, blurry.

12 songs in the Soundtracks. TK plays a singer, but has no credits in the Soundtracks, so she's likely dubbed.

2nd & last (so far) film for LC, who was featured in Fame ('80). After the series Fame ('82-7, 61 of 136 episodes), he does 1 more TV episode as an actor. He seems to be active in music.

3rd of 13 (so far) films for TK. She's also active in TV.

They actually mention the words The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976, 5.7). I don't remember that plot well enough to compare, but he also had an autoimmune deficiency which kept him cooped up.

This one is rather sweet, befitting the male lead, and TK is also. No miracle cures in this one, but it does make a statement about what sort of life is worth living. Not sure I agree with that statement, but I can understand it.

Rated R for soft porn aspects.

IMDb rated 5.2 by 197 voters. I'm feeling more generous.
