If you're going to do every Cannon movie, you're going to end up doing nearly every Lemon Popsicle movie.

Somehow, this is the fifth movie in the series - Lemon Popsicle, Going Steady, Hot Bubblegum and Private Popsicle proceed this, with Private Maneuvers being a side story, and then you follow that with Up Your Anchor, Young Love, Summertime Blues and Lemon Popsicle: The Party Goes On - and for some reason, I feel like I need to see every one of them.

Dan Wolman, who also directed Nana and Up Your Anchor for Cannon, steps in for Boaz Davidson, who co-wrote the script with Wolman and Eli Tavor, who was involved with nearly all of the movies in the series.

Benzi/Benny (Yftach Katzur), Momo/Bobby (Jonathan Segal) and Yudale/Johnny (Zachi Noy) are back and this time, Benzi is in love with Momo's sister Ginny (Stefanie Petsch) and that means the two friends soon turn into enemies. Bea Fiedler, who was in Jess Franco's Linda, plays a dental hygenist who is, of course, as into sex as the boys. As a former centerfold for German Playboy, one imagines that she's in these movies because they were as big in that country as their native Israel.

As always with these movies, there's a huge soundtrack to go with all of the sexual shenanigans, with everything from "Tiger" by Fabian, "The Girl Can't Help It" by Little Richard, "Apache" by The Cherokees and "Only Sixteen" by Sam Cooke in the movie. If those last two songs sound problematic to you, you may not want to watch any of this movie.

After finding the 4th army-based Lemon Popsicle (LP) flick to be a drilling bore,I started to wonder how LP could get lower. Checking the DVD cover,I noticed that a new director had taken over,which led to me hoping that this would be a new flavour Popsicle.

The plot:

For the Summer,friends Benji, Hughie and Bobbie plan to the two main things that they have always enjoyed doing:Joking round and chasing girls. Meeting Bobbie's family for the first time,Benji finds himself falling in love with Bobbie's sister. Knowing how angry Bobbie would be,his sister and Benji decide to keep this lemon Popsicle under wraps.

View on the film:

Revving up the franchise,new co-writer/(with Boaz Davidson and Eli Tavor) director Dan Wolman & new cinematographers Ilan Rosenberg and Amnon Salomon give the series a superb boost of energy,with Wolman showing a sharp eye to break the film out of dead ends with unique stylisation for the series,that includes the first ever tracking shot of the movies,and gritty motorbike chases. Looking back at the early LP's,Wolman covers the wall in eye-catching Rock/movie posters which are mashed with a catchy Pop soundtrack and a subtle floral appearance capturing the growing romance between Benji and Bobby's sister.

Cutting down the rough edges of the last two LP's,the writers follow Wolman's path in keeping the dialogue focused on showing the friendship between the guys. Whilst dropping Hughie in teen Sex Comedy antics,the writers rediscover the teen romance in LP,via taking the series into the area of Drama for the first time,as the unease between Bobby and Benji makes this a refreshing Popsicle.

i love and i do mean love the lemon popsicle movies me and my mate aaron love the characters but this is by far the best of the series. the comedy is funny actually it's very funny but also the drama and friendship of the three lads expecialy benjie and bobby because you never really saw there love for each other until this movie but here it's very clear. an amazing movie it is a sex comedy and it always will be but this movie has a otherside that dosen't come out until near the end i don't want to spoil it for anyone so you'll have to watch the movie, and don't worry if you haven't seen the other movies in the series that's one great thing about the series you don't have to see them in order. i recommend.
