The Seniors

Okay, so this is not the greatest movie ever made. I agree. I must say it had an interesting story line. Although this is not the type of movie that I normally watch, much less purchase, I did buy a copy. Why, you ask. My father played the judge. He died shortly after filming was completed. I was 12 years old at the time. This is the only piece of his work that I own, so I will treasure it. I am still trying to track other works down. He was a commercial actor as well as movies.

Well, I can at least say that my dad was in a movie with Dennis Quaid.

okay, this isn't close to the best low-budget 80's college movie, but i don't think it's all that bad- i think it's a wonderful satire on laisez faire capitalism, and, although not hilarious, it does has some snippits of clever dialogue in that bent. I don't know, compared to this s%#@ that comes out nowadays, I have to like it more.

Horny college boys setting up a phony sex clinic in order to meet girls could've been the basis for a fairly funny movie. Unfortunately, this one isn't it. It doesn't even have the saving grace that '80s movies of the same genre had--completely gratuitous nudity. Priscilla Barnes gets naked (well, topless anyway) for a moment, and a few other nameless "actresses" do, but that's about it. Has a few funny moments, but not nearly enough to make it worth sitting through. It has a better than usual cast for this type of movie, but they don't have much to do. Director Rod Amateau made a bunch of these types of movies, but he hasn't learned how to make a good one yet. Don't waste your time or your money on this dog.

Dumb,dumb teen sex comedy about a group of college guys who open up a bogus sex clinic. The characters are so dull and stereotyped that you might as well be watching a movie of walking zombies. Does feature a great topless scene by Priscilla Barnes. Yet not her, nor a great cast of character actors, including Alan Reed voice of Fred Flinstone, can help. Has the audacity to start preaching life lessons towards the end. Director Amateau, who created the series MY MOTHER THE CAR, will never be considered a talent. Yet DRIVE-IN a similar, earlier feature he did is at least more amusing.

I first saw this film in 1978 as part of a double feature and again in 1981 as part of another double feature. It was a lot of fun seeing the young actors (Dennis Quaid, Priscilla Barnes, Lou Richards, etc.) working with the older actors (Edward Andrews, Robert Emhardt, Alan Reed, etc.) plus all the young womanhood that paraded before the camera. The older lady (Lynn Cartwright) was also very nice looking. I found this a few weeks ago in VHS form in a thrift store and settled down to watch only to find out it had been edited to delete ALL the nudity (which was the best part of the film). Enough of the plot still remained to keep the film entertaining but be warned there's a PG version out there with an R rating on the package! I gave this an 9 rating for the original version and a 7 for the edited version.
