I went into this figuring I was in for sleazy trashy perhaps barely watchable junk, especially as it starts off with a bunch of teenage girls in their shared room in their undies acting silly and being giggly, but was pleasantly surprised to find a real movie here. It has a much better title as "The Passion Flower Hotel" and holds up as a nice coming-of-age romance.
The director does a great job of taking the viewer through a variety of feelings empathizing with the variety of characters expressing what it is to be a young person dealing with entering the world of sex and romance. Curiosity and desire, excitement and anticipation, nervousness and anxiousness, embarrassment and shame, joy and pleasure, sexuality and romance; all very genuine, never over-dramatized.
And it's fun and funny!
