Writer/director Andrew_Bergman hadn't yet found his stride when he fashioned -- for lack of a better word -- this raunchy screwball farce. Very much in line with the late-'70s hangover zeitgeist that inspired such adult-excess comedies as Arthur, Carbon_Copy, The Woman in Red, and S.O.B., and the rest of Blake_Edwards' output at the time, So Fine trades in unsophisticated puns and would-be trenchant satire with varying degrees of success. Though the irreverent premise might have struck a chord with the "nothing comes between me and my Calvins" generation, it hasn't held up well in the post-Howard_Stern era. Besides, Bergman seems less interested in skewering the fashion industry than he does in resorting to standard mob-boss-pursues-debtor comic clichés. But while So Fine may never be described as erudite, it at least offers a few fleeting grown-up pleasures -- which is more than can be said for its progeny, the endless string of '80s teen-oriented ranch-o-ramas ushered in by Porky's that same year.
