As much inspired by "Degrassi Junior High" (1987-1991) as Warhol’s "Lonely Cowboys" (1968), Kalman and Horn’s kaleidoscopic 1987-set first feature has the titular blondes, a trio of heedless teens, plunge into the Honduran jungle in search of the Fountain of Youth. Their exploits are set to the propulsive sounds of an invented worldbeat band, actually made up in part of the members of Vampire Weekend, classmates of the filmmakers at Columbia.
