Basic Training

As a youth, I was constantly trolling the C-Band for any nudity I could find, I knew all the good ones from about 80 till 88, and many of the raunchy comedy's were mainly providing one thing to the viewer, and it wasn't laughs, I remember this movie came on and right off the bat it opens up with a cheesy porno sounding song, and boobs, immediately, but this movie didn't use boobs like most of these movies, this movie and the people who made it, seeing I never heard of one actor or actress in this, couldn't even pull off good nudity, the fact I don't remember one part of this movie I found funny, even as a horny 10 year old, even Fraternity Vacation had stuff I found amusing as a kid, like I don't even know if this was a comedy, I thought it was, but it's like the most mundane, stone faced literally no thought inducing garbage possibly ever, and I have seen some trash, whoever wrote this obviously put zero thought or effort into it, and then on top of that, they screwed the nudity up, how is that possible? IDK but it is, and they did, I'm sure this will never see any type of current format, so if you just gotta see this, hunt down the VHS,but you might as well just sit and count to 1000 or watch air, cause it will be more mentally stimulating.

The best thing I can say about this is that it was marginally better than Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid. But that's like saying I would prefer a kick in the testicles to a punch to the throat. This one is a sex comedy based around the Pentagon. There were literally no laughs whatsoever. Imagine Police Academy without George Gaynes or the man who made the funny noises? How is it possible to write a comedy script and not come up with any funny lines/ideas at all?! It's a disgrace! And you do end up asking yourself how does a screenplay this diabolical make it to the screen? And where the hell is Steve Guttenberg when you need him!? Next!

This movie gets my vote for the "Biggest piece of crap ever portrayed on film" award. I'm not kidding either. This movie had NO laughs at all, and I fell asleep TWICE trying to watch this utter mess of a movie. To make an example , "Basic Training" makes "Billy Elliot" look like "The Shawshank Redemption". Now that's bad.

You probably would of painted this off as just a T and A adult comedy, which it is, but one with style and laughs, and of course, Dusenberry, such a hot lass, if in reality, I'm pretty sure you would give up your military secrets. She arrives in Washington in search of a job. Her hot friend and roommate, sets her up with a job in military personnel in the, yes.... Whitehouse, only this is not your ordinary Whitehouse where not much filing, folding, typing gets down. Soon Duseberry becomes her own boss, and the strip scene in front of our horny old Russian colonel, is enough to get any hormone racing and blood pumping. I just didn't expect this to be as higher quality, this pic. We have lots of naughty sex, nudity, some horny young oversexed men, a nympho, and a Romeo Dusenberry falls i love with, providing a nice little montage music score. I really like the sharp comedy too. AKA Up The Military isn't a bad T and A pic, but I didn't say good. The movie just has a bad of heart, and of course, not much sense. Sexually melting Dusenberry makes up for all of that, and her friend's not that bad either. The old Colonel's a bit of a laughful asset as well.

This movie begins with a young, naïve woman by the name of "Melinda" (Ann Dusenberry) arriving in to Washinton D.C. in the hope of finding a job and starting a new career. To save on money she moves in with an old friend named "Debbie" (Rhonda Shear) and her current roommate "Cheryl" (Angela Aames). And to make things even better they also assist her in finding a job at the same place where they work-the Pentagon. What they forget to tell her, however, is the culture of sexual permissiveness she comes face to face with on her very first day at work. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this comedy had more than its fair share of gratituitous sex and nudity with most of it being more crude than actually funny. But to be fair, there was some pretty good humor here and there which kept the film from being a total bore. Likewise, having the three aforementioned actresses certainly didn't hurt the scenery in any way either. In any case, while this clearly wasn't a good film by any means, I suppose it wasn't a total waste of time either and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
