Straps-Akademie III

Although the "Commissioner" (Jay Richardson) and "Miss Devonshire" (Jayne Hamil) are now married the Commissioner's son "Irwin" (Chad Gabbert) still lives in the basement and pretty much does as he pleases-within limits of course. However, when he is caught playing a computer program which simulates a virtual hooker, the Commissioner becomes quite angry and disconnects the power. This action produces an unforeseen situation which results in the virtual hooker materializing in the real world and creating an incredible prostitution network beyond anything the Vice Academy has ever seen. Yet as terrible as this might be there is another problem which could be even more serious as the Commissioner has yet to consummate his marriage with Miss Devonshire even though the wedding occurred 3 months earlier. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this movie wasn't nearly as humorous as some of the preceding films in the series as most of the jokes ended up being either hit or miss. Likewise, the overall plot seemed to lose focus here and there as well. Even so this wasn't necessarily a bad addition to the series and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.

Why do I keep watching the "Vice Academy" movies? I think it's a combination of the inviting covers, the cute female leads, and the general idea of women in charge. Too bad the writer-director-producer of the series, Rick Sloane, lacks both the budgets and the sophistication to pull them off. "Vice Academy 5" suffers from his typically lazy camera setups (too often, he simply has 4 or 5 characters standing in a line, reciting largely unfunny dialogue), almost complete lack of story, and too little screen time for the supposed stars of the series, the Vice Girls themselves (Elizabeth Kaitan, from Parts 3 & 4, is joined by newcomer Raelyn Saalman; they are both attractive and seem to be having fun with their roles). For about every joke that works, there are 10 that don't, and for about every minute of nudity, there are 80+ without it. In other words, par for the course of the series. * out of 4.
