Watch: Little Darlings 1980 123movies, Full Movie Online – Fifteen year olds Ferris Whitney and Angel Bright meet when they attend the same summer camp and are assigned the bunks next to each other in the same cabin. It’s hate at first sight as they are seemingly polar opposites: romantic and literate Ferris comes from a wealthy and thus privileged background, while streetwise and chain-smoking Angel is from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks. But they share one similarity: they are both virgins, the only ones of their age in their cabin. Due to pressure from their cabin mates, most specifically the aggressive Cinder Carlson, the two enter into a bet on who will lose their virginity first and by the end of the summer. Ferris, who initially seems more interested in the pursuit of the opposite sex, quickly sets her sights on Gary Callahan, the much older coach at the camp. But Angel finds her own target, namely Randy Adams, an equally streetwise boy attending the camp across the lake. The process becomes a bonding exercise for the two girls, who take divergent paths to their end goal and in dealing with the aftermath of the alleged big events..
Plot: Two 15-year old girls from different sides of the tracks compete to see who will be first to lose their virginity while at camp.

Should be shown in junior high schools – I wish it had been in mine
This film impressed me so much back then that I not only made all my friends and family see it, but I drove all the way to Georgia to see where it was filmed.

It’s not just about sex – it’s about the two ways you can look at sex when approaching puberty. The wrong way – the Ferris Whitney way – is to romanticize it like Romeo and Juliette. The other wrong way — Angel’s way and the way I saw it at the time — is to see it as something scary, invasive, animalistic, and biological which is approaching to seize you, engulf you, and reprogram you into a mindless reproduction-machine.

Of the eight characters, only Angel discovers the truth: “God, it was so… PERSONAL, like you could see right through me”. Sex turns out not to be storybook romance OR a tyrannical usurping of your body by the Forces of Evolution, but something very, very, very, very real, immediate… and YOU.

In the boathouse, Angel discovers that sex is not something scary she is forced to be, but something wonderful she was always meant to be.

In the words of the novel, “All the fear and uncertainty melted away as they kissed. Soon she didn’t know who was touching whom, only that it was wonderful, and right, and fine. And the moon stared impenetrably through the window”.

Notice how “before”, she’s withdrawn, sarcastic, and hostile; and “after”, she’s relaxed and kind of at one with the world, like she’s a part of it, instead of a stranger in it.

In the very last scene, she hugs her mom — something she NEVER would have done before — saying “What’s this crap about sex being nothing? You’ve been hanging around creeps!” This resonated very, very strongly with me at that age; I wanted that to happen to ME. And I don’t mean getting laid.

The movie was supposedly filmed in Madison, Georgia,at Hard Labor Creek state park. I was wondering if any evidence that a movie had been made would even still exist after two years. The first thing I came upon was a big sign over the road: “Camp Little Wolf”. My God! All the sets and props were intact… and abandoned.

Alone, I explored. I walked on the dock and sat on the swing. When night came, I slept in Cabin A, in the bed that Angel did. The next day, I jumped into the lake, hoping that this baptism would somehow cause the same …transformation which happened to her: the transformation from child to adult.

And finally, before leaving, I sat for hours in the boathouse, on the spot where “it” happened, just thinking.

Did I like the film, “Little Darlings”? Yeah.

Yeah, I did.

Okay Coming of Age Epic for Teenage Girls
“Gettysburg” director Ronald F. Maxwell’s “Little Darlings” beat “American Pie” to the punch back in 1980 with this mildly entertaining but ultimately coy 90-minute comedy about the rivalry between two 15-year old girls at summer camp that to see who could be the first to lose their virginity. Of course, the PG-rated “Little Darlings” has nothing in the way of nudity or raunch to compare with “American Pie.” Tatum O’Neal of “Paper Moon” fame plays Ferris, a rich but introverted girl from a broken home, while Kristy McNichol of “The Pirate Movie” is Angel, the street-wise, chain-smoking Marlboro tomboy from the wrong side of the tracks. The minute that Ferris and Angel meet, it’s hate at first sight. They fight on the bus in route to Camp Little Wolf, and they seem destined to battle each other the rest of the summer. One of the girls Cinder (Krista Errickson of “Jailbait”) suggests a way for the two girls to work off their rage more creatively.

The screenplay by Kimi Peck and Dalene (“The Baby Sitters Club”) Young is provocative but harmless. Immoralities abound. Angel hot-wires a school bus and takes a group of girls gets on a joy ride, but there is more talk than action. Slow moving as it is, “Little Darlings” is a curious film. It is rated R; presumably, the rating is for the implied sex. Parents will be relieved that “Little Darlings” discourages pre-martial sexual intercourse. In the words of one character, “Kissing is more fun.” Ferris sets her sights on an older man for her first conquest, Gary Callahan (Armand Assante of “American Gangster”), who teaches high school French and serves as the camp counselor, while Angel pursues Randy (Matt Dillon of “Drugstore Cowboy”) when she fuels up the bus at a gas station. Meanwhile, Ferris plays like she is drowning to get Mr. Callahan to come after her. The film promises more than it delivers, and the characters are too sketchy to be believed.

If you’re a parent, “Little Darlings” depicts what questions and ideas are turning over in a young girl’s mind. There is nothing here to corrupt anyone except the ‘idea’ which comes along at that age anyway. Teenage girls will probably appreciate the shop-talk dialogue. The trailer where McNichol kicks a dude in the family jewels is one of the more memorable scenes along with the condom stealing scene. Look for “Sex in the City’s” Cynthia Nixon in her first role.
