Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The Italian prostitute says her fee is "100,000 lira." "Lira" is the singular form (like "dollar"). She should have said "100,000 lire" (the correct plural form, like "dollars").

Movie Connections:

References Private Video Magazine 16 (1994) (V)

"I am a Puer Eternis and a Narcissist."

Yes movie nuts that's what the title should have been: I'm a Kid that Can't Grow Up.

At first I was impressed by his insight into his sexual, somewhat naughty, needs. And his wanting to have a girlfriend he can be honest with (about these urges), sounds like it's progress. But he repeats the cycle with three new girlfriends and you see that he's not learning. He's just thinking up naughty and then giving in. It's really about hooking someone else into watching his drama. I finally caught on when, with the third girl, he freelances all night then comes home to Christa and kisses her and says he wants to try to kick the habit. That's his whole problem. He doesn't want to kick anything except whomever is his lover of the moment. It gets boring when you see he's going nowhere and he succeeds again in alienating yet another woman who started out being understanding. No that's not enough for this guy. It's "Come watch me," then "Help me quit," then it's "Don't you go out and do this stuff because I'll get jealous." Enough. I could not finish watching the thing.This film are a lot like Henry Jaglom's. It's all about Jaglom.

I gave it more than one star because his story sounded worth hearing for about a half hour.
