Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2

I am a big fan of bad movies and have been a big fan of Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama ever since I saw it on USA Up All Night back in the late 80s. I heard the original director David DeCoteau left after creative differences (given some of the films he has made, you got to wonder what this would be) and Linnea Quigley turned down the chance to return as Spider, so the part was rewritten for Kelli Maroney (Night of the Comer, Chopping Mall), who plays Snake, Spider's sister. Brinke Stevens took over as director and appears as the ghost of Taffy, along with Michelle Bauer as the spirit of Lisa, the two doomed pledges from the first film. The cast is poor even for schlock and the even though this only runs 62 minutes, it feels much longer as the Imp does not make his appearance until about 40 minutes into the movie. Watch the original and avoid this cheap knockoff.

This didn't do it for me, and I'm totally bummed out about having to say that. I'm a big fan of the original, love the cast and Uncle Impy. I wanted to enjoy this. I'm cool with low budget/low effort movies if they do something fun. I didn't like any of the characters except the imp. Should have spent more on hair, makeup, wardrobe, and script re-writes.

The characters lacked passion, especially the women. They were all just reading lines off of cards.

I'm bummed out that more effort wasn't put into helping Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens look pretty. I met Michelle and making her look sexy, and in character, would have required very little effort.

Also, the nudity felt gratuitous. Granted it was gratuitous in the original, but there was story motivation and dialog during it. In this it was just kinda there and not all that sexy.

Like I said. This one just didn't do it for me. Even when movies are so bad they're funny, the filmmakers are trying their best to make the best movie they could.

I am a sucker for trashy cinema so I have found myself watching more Kent Roudebush films that I should. I don't know why anyone keeps letting him write. Kent ruined the Evil Bong series and now Kent is ruining Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama.

I did not laugh once. The film is a mere 1 hour long but they still managed to jam about 10 minutes of the first film into it. The dialogue is horrible, and the pacing is intentionally slow to fill the gaps because the screenwriter didn't provide enough of a story, neither visually nor in dialogue.

Skip this and skip Kent Roudebush from now on.

I went into this movie really wanting to enjoy it. I love cheesy Full Moon cult classics like Dollman and Puppet Master and fully support the idea of breathing new life into these flicks with new sequels.

That is, unless the end result is Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2 - an almost unwatchable follow up that makes its hour-and-seven minute runtime seem like an eternity. If you're a fan of the original, it's unfortunately not worth satisfying your curiosity.

While no one's expecting this to be a masterpiece in storytelling, it's as if they didn't even try to come up with a decent idea for a sequel, and everything else from the porn grade acting to odd lack of anything happening on-screen make this a waste of time for all involved including you the viewer. Even the awesome Linnea Quigley reprising her role as Spider can't save this dud.

Not COMPLETELY horrible... boy, that's a ringing endorsement, ain't it? I don't think I ever saw the original, so I don't have anything with which to compare this, so I am reviewing it on it's own merits.

This feels like an 80's movie condensed down to a hour long TV movie. Speaking of the 80's... everything here is in that style - the colors, the clothes, the sets... everything, even the size of the cameras the boys use to surveil the girls - except that they use a modern tablet to access the cameras. :shrug:

The acting is about what you'd expect from a daytime soap opera, but at least it isn't terrible. The plot is (from what I read) the exact same as the original, but it does feel rushed. There's some gratuitous t.and.a and the stereotypical "sorority girl on girl shower scene." There's a bit of humour, especially the imp.

All in all, if you have an hour or so to kill, and you are looking for a movie you can zone out and just watch - no brain cells required... you might enjoy this.
