Avis à la une
Screwballs (1983) is a movie I recently watched on Amazon Prime and tells the tale of T&A High School and a bunch of horny guys doing everything they can to see nude females.
This movie is directed by Rafal Zielinski (Fun) and stars Peter Keleghan (Ginger Snaps), Linda Shayne (Big Bad Mama II), Nanci Chambers (JAG) and Jan Taylor Hendricks (In the Heat of the Night).
The storyline has little to no meat but there are some fun sequences throughout the film. The dialogue and reactions are hilarious and the teachers are over the top cliché. The sign hanging opening was perfect for this genre and the mirror idea in the hall was brilliant. The drive-in and "My First Strike" scenes were great and the pool sequence was pretty random. I will say they did a good job "picking their talent."
Overall this is a movie only worth watching for T&A. I would score this a 4/10 and would go into this with the appropriate expectation.

Mind-numbingly awful 80s sex farce. It's probably one of the worst made movies I've ever seen, but it's so awful that it kind of goes back around to becoming almost fascinating in its pure horridness. Almost. Man, these people have no idea how to construct a gag. You watch it, and you kind of know what they were going for, but it misses its marks by so far that you kind of feel sorry for it. I really do feel sorry for all the poor actors and, especially, actresses who appear in it. The story has five high school guys who plan on getting revenge on the high school's only virgin (Linda Speciale, playing a character named Purity Busch) after she gets them in trouble. Kind of a must-see for lovers of terrible movies.
This film will definitely cause you to rewind a few times, and fast-forward a lot more, because huge sections of it are predictable and flat to the point of humorless. The four main male characters... I hated them, but they seem to be somewhat accurate. Rafal Zielinski is a competent director, and the editor has rendered some rather effective "speed up" gags.
Here and there, a good line is said, or a good piece of physical comedy is shown, but it's usually the script, not the way it's delivered, that's funny. And most of the nudity... To be frank, you get sick of it by sheer repetition (Wow, EVERY character is sort a deviant... boring) and want to see a character you can actually like.
Now, on to Linda Shayne,
She's hardly a prolific director these days, and some of her material is borderline vomitably kid-oriented(Flying Ryan, Purple People Eater), but she is still skilled at suiting the needs of the right target audience. Plus, she is more attractive than the rest of the female cast combined. It's a shame that she couldn't have gotten herself the female lead as Purity: her acting skills and physique are much better. Much more likely to draw a guy like me over to the cause of feminism than Ann Coulter or Oprah Winfrey
In short, she's the reason I am really mad that the local movie rental has lost its copy of this tape.

i didn't find anything special about this alleged sex comedy.i think i laughed twice throughout the movie.the whole thing is really random and incoherent in my opinion.but it wasn't the worst movie i've ever seen or the worst of the genre,for that matter.it isn't very memorable though.in a day or two,i'll have forgotten most of the movie.i thought the soundtrack was pretty lame also.there are a fair amount of naked breasts in the movie,but that alone doesn't make it worth watching,in my books.it's touted as a raunchy sex comedy,in fact 'the raunchiest sex comedy of the 80's' but i didn't think it was raunchy at all.for me,Screwballs is a 3/10
A movie that could only be made in the early 80's. It has a very USA "Up All Night with Rhonda Shear" vibe to it except with a lot more nudity. It's very much Porky's redheaded step child as the entire plot is 5 high school guys trying to see a high school virgin named Purity's boobs. A mission that no man has yet to accomplish. Yes that is the plot.
There's a scene where they go strip bowling and the stereotypical typical nerd gets his member stuck in one of the holes. A couple girls get him all worked up and he "shoots" the ball down the lane for a strike. Why did I give this movie 3 stars again?

- GaffesWhen Purity Busch lies face down on the beach towel, she unties the neck straps of her bikini and spreads them out on the towel, but when she jumps up after being startled, the straps are tied behind her neck.

- Versions alternativesThe 14th July 1983 edition of show-business trade paper 'The Hollywood Reporter' indicated that there were two different versions of the movie made to accommodate USA and Canadian audiences for the film's closing song scene. The Canadians heard actress Linda Speciale singing "Oh, Canada" whilst the Americans heard Speciale' instead sing "The Star-Spangled Banner".
