As the fourth in a series of "Popsicle" movies about three young buddies, Sapiches is running on empty. Director Boaz Davidson liberally borrows from the preceding three films and puts together a series of low-brow sequences and variations on a few core jokes to pad a story line about ostensible life in the army. Military duty apparently requires a lot of down time for sexual adventures. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Coming along as the third film in a trilogy that may have died here, Lemon Popsicle 3 is a reminiscence of teenage years that is based on short, disparate segments featuring nudity, some violence, "oldies" music, and teen sex. Some viewers may want to stick with memories of their own teen years, and save this movie experience for others. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Boaz Davidson co-wrote and directed this nostalgic schoolboy romance, taking place in 1950s Tel Aviv. The story deals with three young men -- Bentzi (Jesse Katsur), Momo (Jonathan Sagalle), and Yuda'leh (Zachi Noy) -- who only have girls on their minds. The boys, searching for their first sexual experiences, encounter middle-aged nymphomaniacs and unclean hookers. Then things become more serious. Bentzi, shy and introspective, falls in love with a cute girl named Nili (Anat Atzmon), but Nili is in love with Momo. When Momo gets Nili pregnant and then dumps her, Bentzi agrees to stay in Tel Aviv during summer vacation to arrange an abortion. Bentzi confesses his love to Nili, but when summer vacation is over and Momo returns to school, Nili runs back to him. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Teens in 1950s Tel Aviv were just as enamored of popular music as their American counterparts -- often listening to the same songs. In this romantic comedy, three buddies are on the lookout for an opportunity to express their sexual maturity. Benjie is much too nice for some of their shenanigans, Huey is overweight and bashful, and Bobby is very much a ladies' man. Huey in particular gets caught in some ticklish situations, as when he has to hide under a bed when a couple comes in to use it. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
