Another series of embarrassing incidents, (if you're a Popsicle fan, you know who to thank) and funny sexcapades, again make up another winner in this series. An extra hot youngie, Delores, who Benji once had the hots for, but his best friend was doing her, pops back up in his life, where he can't keep his hormones under wraps, or is it love? Dumping his current sweetie who stacks up average against this returning beauty, he soon finds out she's not a one man girl, and doesn't want to be tied down, which of course, paints her off as a you know what. Becoming infatuated over her, our brainwashed Benji, drops all the important things, like the advice of his good friends, Huey and Stevie, to pursue a serious relationship with Delores. The fun really takes off though when Benji's super hot cousin, Inga, a perpetual head turner, comes to visit. At the dinner table, Benji and Pop's eyes eat up Inga, rather than the soup placed in front of them. The way she sips her soup, is as sexy as her, or when she leans over, one ample titty poking out of her cut loose blouse. Too later, on, we have a hot middle aged nympho piano teacher, who likes to be pleasured by young studs, inspired to hit those keys and make beautiful music. She prefers beginners, by the way. A long list of fifties songs, play throughout this Porky's type flick, this one, almost as good. The last love song aptly fits the making up scene of our two cuties in the finale, this couldn't of been done more perfect. Another hit for the Popsicle fans. Popsicle fans won't be disappointed.

This third entry to the "Lemon Popsicle" franchise of teen sex comedies certainly has the most nudity so far. It begins with a scene where the three boys (Benji, Momo and Yudale) peek through a hole in the wall at some girls changing, and when Yudale climbs on top of the changing room, he predictably falls through the roof, only to be chased out by half-clad and naked girls, and an ugly middle-aged woman, who are always spoiling the guys' fun in movies like these.

The prior Lemon Popsicle flicks always featured episodic teenage sex hijinx to break up the more serious scenes about the hero, Benji's, more serous love interest. I was never as aware of how uneasy this mix was as when I was watching this entry. The movie's actual plot is about Benji needing to choose between two girls, but in some of the hijinx scenes, he's shown trying to get with other girls and nobody mentions the ones he already has.

The behaviour in the episodic scenes also doesn't add up to what we've seen these guys do in previous movies. Benji's fallen in love, lost his virginity, paid for an abortion, had his heart broken, all in the first movie. Now he's betting on what colour panties the girls are wearing with his friend Yudale, who uses a mirror on his shoe to find out. Come to think of it, Yudale's far from a virgin now too. He had crabs in the first movie (so did Benji). You'd think he'd have grown out of sub-adolescent shenanigans like this by now.

What I'm saying is that the formula was really starting to show by the third flick. We get scenes that involve the real plot of the movie, ie. Benji's relationship development, and then unrelated scenes of teenage sex antics that we've all seen before. Some of these scenes are even kind of alarming, like one where Yudale tries to force himself on a girl and it looks like an attempted rape, or the boys spiking the girls' drinks with vodka, or a scene where Benji finally gets to bed his beautiful blonde houseguest (who is only in the movie for one scene) and then we see the other boys lining up outside, waiting for their turn. If you have sex with one of the Lemon Popsicle boys, do you hereby consent to have sex with the other two as well?

I still enjoyed the movie. The great soundtrack always gets you to come back to it when your attention wanes, and I like its beautiful Israeli girls.

Rated R for Strong Language and Sexual Content.

Hot Bubblegum is the third entry in the Isreali Lemon Popsicle series.There are nine films in the entire series.I have seen the first three because they are on youtube.Part of the fourth film is on youtube and the whole film should be up soon.Anyway Hot Bubblegum is not as good as Lemon Popsicle 1 or 2(which was the best one), but it is still a funny 1980's teen sex comedy with a good mix of drama and romance in it.My only problem with this film is Bobby and Benji are always friends even after the events of the first and second film.In those, they always fight and never become friends again, yet in the next sequel, they are best friends as if nothing has happened.Also Nicki from the first film(played by a different actress) returns.Benji and her date and talk as if none of the events of the first film happened.Also in the first film, she seemed like a nice girl, yet in this one she's a b**ch! The film has basically the same story, three friends in the 50's or early 60's keeping up with exams,girlfriends and all the other things that teens go through in high school.If you like teen comedies, then check out the lemon popsicle series.

Man, I stayed up all night watching this movie. I don't know... but it might very well now be my favorite of the genre.

Committing the plot to any review on paper would do the movie a great disservice. For the movie is instead thick on atmosphere: largely relating the sexual adventures - and misadventures - of a group of friends around their seaside neighborhood set to the delightful music of 50s rock 'n 'roll. This is a particularly comical coming of age farce that just runs from one outrageous skit to the other.

Of course, the dubbing of this German/Israeli production makes the movie even more enjoyable. I'd like to personally thank the original producer for taking such a risk to film such a movie.

Hot Bubblegum - as it was titled when I saw it - is in the line of "Porky's", "American Pie", "Revenge of the Nerds" ... but it just seems to beat all of them. It's probably a lot more raunchy also! I reckon you'll be just drawn in and if you don't - you bloody well should! It's fun, fun, fun!!!
