Jóvenes y rebeldes

A drama with a touch of crime thriller and satire. Several girls end up in prison for various reasons. Among them is a young singer who is drawn into a complicated story where a confluence of random circumstances leads to a severe sentence. The harsh internal life of the prison with its peculiar rules quickly sets accents and suggests the idea - you need to escape, which the main character, along with a couple of partners who turn up, will mainly do throughout the not very long running time.

The prison style is taken from the 1950s, and the manner of presentation from the 1990s. The characters, as in a number of other works included in the almanac "Rebel Highway", are exaggerated, and the surroundings are more like a theatrical scenery. In the background, characteristic details of the past flicker, referring to once pressing political views, smoldering conflicts and street movements - hence a peculiar parallel suggests itself, that everyone fights for his / her dignity or goals and values, what he / she considers to be truly true, as best he / she can.

Obviously, you shouldn't expect something on the level of "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994). It's a typical genre B-movie with no hint of depth, but within its niche it looks quite solid.

The original film was shot in 1956, "Girls in Prison", the story revolved around the property of a bank.

Sweet young songtress Aggie (Missy Crider) gets sent to a harsh women's prison after being found guilty of a murder she didn't commit……

Most of the laughs in the film are unintentional rather than written. Parts of this movie (especially the truly unbelievable climax) defy belief.

Some parts simply make no sense at all. It looks like this movie had no script, the actresses were told just to use whatever dialog they could think of.

The only scenes with quality in dialog, comes from Anne Heche. It looks like they were more her idea rather than scripted or directed. Heche is great as the bad girl and is the only one, who knows what she's doing. The lack of acting from the rest of the cast are sometimes good for a big laugh.

The movie has two graphic shower scenes. Although poorly filmed, the girls are nice to look at (Heche bares her gorgeous breasts).

Outside Heche the movie is really bad... and not to recommend....

This should be a campy, cheesy riot, an homage to exploitation films. Instead, it just is one. It seems they didn't feel like trying hard enough to make good schlock, and counted on the camp element to excuse the lack of quality on the serious level.

I thought that this would be like 'Mars Attacks' with shower scenes. There were two of those, and I have to say I enjoyed them. But as Joe Bob Briggs says, the plot gets in the way of the story.

With the usual plot twists that keep you interested. An added bonus is Ann Heche (and many other actresses) in some graphic shower scenes. I liked it, for some light entertainment. It was good enough to keep me from changing the channel, but I don't feel compelled to watch it every time it comes on.

This one is worth watching just to see Anne Heche in the shower scene.
