Virgin High

I simply love it, and not because I'm a fan of the lovely Linnea, this movie its just funny, from the opening when Richard tries to look at his girlfrien's assets, to the Guard that impersonates Elvis. I really think that Mr. Gabai is a very talented director and I wish he had made more movies like this or The AAssault of the Party Nerds movies.

While I had actually never heard about this 1991 comedy titled "Virgin High", from director Richard Gabai, prior to stumbling upon it here in 2025, I needed no persuasion to watch it. Why? Well, because it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, so of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance.

Writers Jeff Neill and Richard Gabai put together a rather generic and not particularly funny script and storyline. Sure, "Virgin High" was watchable, but I wasn't brought to laughing once throughout the course of the 88 minutes that the movie ran for.

I was not familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list, except for Burt Ward. And that was actually something that spoke in favor of the movie, as I enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen. The acting performances in the movie were fair, despite the fact that the script was bland. I saw that Leslie Mann was on the cast list, but I didn't see her on the screen.

The lack of comedy throughout the course of the movie made for a rather dull viewing experience, especially when this was supposed to be a comedy.

While I managed to sit through the movie, I was only mildly entertained, but I can honestly say that this movie will not be played a second time. There is just something about a movie that is written, directed and starring the same one person that makes it usually a garbage heap.

My rating of director Richard Gabai's 1991 comedy "Virgin High" lands on a three out of ten stars.

You can not dislike a movie akin to this. It has one purpose and that is to make you smile. It does this, although not as much as most would want. There is not much in this movie that you could not find in most eighties teen movies. My favorite moment would have to be the amusing sex scene between the rent a cop Elvis impersonator and Linnea Quigley, which effectively mocks overblown sex scenes. Linnea Quigley is topless in this scene, another reason to love it. Richard Gabai remains horrific in almost every sense. He can't act well and he isn't very funny either, he tries too hard. If he wanted to stay behind the camera, I would have no problem with that. He directed Linnea in several other movies where she was without apparel.

OK, it's got Linnea Quigley in it, and Richard Gabai directed it, so it has to be a T&A movie, and it is. For the most part it's a pretty dull one at that. From the start of the movie to the point that Burt Ward get a holy whatever in is masterfully done. From there until the very end of the movie, when what little plot there is comes to a climax, and Burt Ward gets another good one-liner in, it's pretty dull. On the plus side Traci Dali is drop dead gorgeous, so the scenes she's in are watchable even if the movie is lame. The first five minutes are so funny, I would recommend that any fan of "bad" movies should rent this. It would be worth the rental fee to watch just that much and return it.

Virgin High (obviously rented for the name alone) is one of the most ridiculous and retardedly horrible movies ever created. And that is why I gave it a 10! This movie was incredible easy to mock, and when you watch it with a bunch of friends the movie becomes really funny (although, I admit, the movie does manage to be funny on its own every half an hour). Assuming you don't watch this movie thinking it will be good, it will be good... kind of weird how that works out... Yeah, I also must admit that we watched it twice in a row, which tells you how awful/good it is! Next rental: Hot Under the Collar!
