Ben Mendelsohn - Loverboy (1989)

16 year old Mick (Noah Taylor) gets forced to clean up the yard of his moms friend Sally (Gillian Jones). He'd rather be skateboarding in puddles or getting drunk with his buddies, but Sally's place is coated with weeds. After a sweaty day of yard work, Sally offers Mick some wine, they spend hours together doing kinda nothing (like teens!) and pretty soon they can't stop humping. Geoffrey Wright wrote and directed this three years before he freaked people out with "Romper Stomper". It's surprisingly great and tender and showcases the suburbs and the boredom of youth well. The relationship between Mick and Sally isn't quite as horrifying as you'd think, even if it's still an awful idea. Ben Mendelsohn plays part of Noah Taylor's posse of pals.Tune in! Party with us.
