Steam Room Stories: The Movie

The movie is purely for laffs and frivolity!

The plot is thread thin. Six very attractive dudes spend their days together hanging out in a steam room. Unfortunately one of the 'dudes' is there for an ulterior motive. As the story progresses we see 'ulterior motive guy' accepted into the steam room coterie. But this dude falls for 'big muscle dude' and being a member of 'the group'. Thus the twist in the plot. It isn't until the end of the movie we find out why the steam room dudes are always there.

This is a silly light entertainment movie. Why so many uncomplimentary reviews is beyond mee!

I thought this movie would be awful and you know what? It was awfully entertaining, campy, kitschy, funny, kooky, and just what I needed for an extended covid era pick me up. Nothing cerebral to see here folks, just the most ridiculous storyline and antics. Eye candy was nice too.

Chock full of dumb jocks tropes. The movie is so stupid that it's actually funny! Lots of great one-liners (e.g. "They're so dumb that if they were stuck overnight in a mattress factory they'd sleep on the floor". The unabashed in-your-face humor along with plenty of beefy half-naked guys makes up for the ridiculous plot and lack of acting skills. Plenty of beefcake to keep my pause and slo-mo remote control functions busy.

Steam Room stories, the web series, had moments of charm mixed in with the shirtless beefcake, but this film is bottom of the barrel bad. The plot is so tired it's laughable. (Insert establishment) is in danger of shutting down because (insert reason owner owes money) and evil (insert stock villain) wants to take it over." In this case it's "gym, didn't pay taxes, beauty magnate who's looking for the fountain of youth."

The worst part is how the characters talk to each other. Nobody actually talks this way, but they don't take it so over the top that it's camp, so instead it just seems like bad writing. Example: a group of buddies decides they'll no longer small talk about sex, and one declares "Ok then! No more talking about poon or peen." Sure, that's a thing someone would say.

This film is fun, light hearted and entertaining. It features a lot of jokes, and lots of eye candy too. I had to grab myself some chocolate cookies, after watching the bake sale scene!
