Thirteen years after the last of the Lemon Popsicle entries was made, someone in Israel must have thought it was time for a reboot, that is, basically bringing back the characters of Benzi, Momo, and Yudale-as portrayed by younger actors who probably weren't even born when the original LP was made-from the late '50s/early '60s and put them in new sexual adventures of that time period. And they do with gratuitous nudity of various female bodies for nearly every minute of this film. Also back is the original Yudale, Zachi Noy, as the manager of the malt shop hangout of those boys. His is a welcome presence especially when he does some of his humiliating sequences. But the rehash of various escapades from the various Lemon Popsicle films seem inserted in with no real reason for being, just an excuse for nostalgia purposes, maybe. After a while, I got tired of recognizing where certain sequences were originally placed. Oh, and as in the first one, Benzi falls for a girl who prefers the more rough-edged Momo. Though I suppose the addition of a near-rape scene of her by an even more tough hood scores this reboot entry a point for originality. But, really, I felt this one was just going through the motions of what went before with the thought of the producers thinking lightning would strike twice. By the point of when this was made, in America there was a teen sex comedy called American Pie that did blockbuster business a couple of years back, so much so that the same year as this movie, a sequel to AP was made which was also successful leading to two more follow-ups. But in Israel, this marked the end of the Lemon Popsicle series, once and for all. P. S. I only managed to find a Hebrew language version online but I understood most of what was going on.
