1989's most earnest title about the least earnest subject matter.
Honesty is a way of life. It takes courage and willingness for Jason to get what he wants from Jared, but acting on the advice of Chris, he makes his move and gets his reward. Add to this the steamy exploits of Jason's school friends and you have a driving story which smacks of sex as only Honesty can.
