Escuela de Azafatas

"Stewardess School" is one of those movies you THINK you've seen because of the overly familiar title but you haven't. Much like the early "Airports" it's a spoof with a lot of former television actors you may have forgotten...but in this film they all give really good performances. That's why the movie shows up all the time on comedy cable stations. if you're not feeling like rushing right out and renting it, just wait, it'll be on a channel near you shortly. It's fun, innocent and funny but unfortunately got stuck with a title that makes it seem like something it isn't.. Like the nice girl in high school with the bad rep: "Stewardess School" is worth getting to know better.

I recently watched Stewardess School (1986) on Tubi. The storyline revolves around a group of misfits in flight steward school. For graduation, they must work a real flight, showcasing they're more than misfits. The lives of passengers hang in the balance during their final exam.

Directed and written by Ken Blancato in his sole directorial project, the film features Brett Cullen (The Dark Knight Rises), Sandahl Bergman (Conan the Barbarian), Don Most (Happy Days), Judy Landers (Armed and Dangerous), Robert Paulsen (Pinky and the Brain), and Sherman Hemsley (The Jeffersons).

The movie exudes '80s vibes, resembling a mix of Porky's and Airplane, albeit not reaching the heights of either. This film carries a fun nostalgic cast, notable Judy Landers stands out for being smoking hot as always. While the humor may miss more than hit, memorable moments like a Twisted Sister line and a fantastic crushed nuts conversation add some laughs. The shower scene stands out as the movie's highlight.

In conclusion, Stewardess School falls short of being a good movie, but its '80s charm makes it worth a watch. I would give it a score of 3.5-4/10 and recommend watching it at least once.

Campy slapstick spoof with many familiar faces living it up while majoring courses in stewardess school (Does such a school really exist?). Although cheesy, it's become somewhat of a cult classic.

Kind of hard to find in video rental stores today but airs frequently on cable TV's Comedy Central station. Most notable for one of Donny Most's rare appearances outside of 'Happy Days'.

Judy Landers - Stewardess.

No, her career hasn't finally upturned. But it should have, thanks in no small part to "Stewardess School", which tries to be the "Police Academy" of airline training movies.

I'll let that sink in for a minute.

Ready? Okay, let's go on.

Not only does the bustier of the Landers sisters have a part in this fiasco, but so does Don "Donny" Most (Ralph Malph from "Happy Days"), Wendie Jo Sperber (Amy from "Bosom Buddies") and Mary Cadorette (Whatever-her-Name-Was from that "Three's Company" spinoff...you didn't know there was a "Three's Company" spinoff? All the sadder). It even had Sherman Helmsley (George Jefferson from "The Jeffersons"). If not for the nudity, crudity and language, this could have been one of those movies NBC makes for sweeps week. It had the talent (long, drawn-out throat clearing).

If you've seen any "Police Academy", you've seen "Stewardess School". And it ain't as funny, either. You didn't think "Police Academy" was funny? Then you may want to rent something a little funnier than this film. Like, say, "Platoon"?

One star. No redeeming laughs. No funny situations. No wonder Mary Cadorette hasn't done more films.

When are they going to learn you don't do these films without Leslie Nielsen?

This is a must see if you watch USA's Up All Night with Gilbert Godfried & Rhonda. Simply put, it's a corn-ball movie with sex as a major theme. However, this movie contains one of the funniest scenes ever. Wendy Jo Sperber finds a a bomb on the plane. After it detonates, she uses her large "behind" to plug the hole until the plane lands. Highly unrealistic but truly original.
