Homework

About This Movie

So, 'Homework' from 1982—it's a curious blend of comedy and drama wrapped around this teen rockstar, Tommy, who, despite his good looks, is still a virgin. There's this offbeat vibe; the pacing is a bit meandering at times but it works for the story. What really sets it apart is how it tackles coming-of-age themes with a sense of awkwardness and honesty. The performances have this raw energy, especially that of the classmate's mom who's determined to educate Tommy in more ways than one. It feels like a snapshot of early '80s adolescence, with just enough charm and cringe to keep you engaged. And the practical effects? Well, they’re not the star, but they add to that nostalgic feel.
