The ghost of dead porn-star Roxy Du Jour (Sally Kellerman) is sent back to Earth by Saint Peter (Al Waxman) with instructions to perform one good deed before entering Heaven. In this case, her "good deed" is to help nerdy 14-year-old Randy (Patrick Dempsey) lose his virginity. Randy just happens to have his eye on The Love Goddess (Shannon Tweed), and Roxy has many helpful hints for him. If you are into slapstick comedy sprinkled with ample profanity, then this is the film for you.
