Loose Screws

It's pretty silly and it's the sequel to "Screwballs". A movie that is considered a classic by some. But while you can argue about the quality of the first movie (especially if you had watched it back in the day and like to reminisce about the good old days), it's almost impossible to find anything good in this one. It tries to up the ante, in the sex comedy department, but does not achieve it.

It even tries to copy some scenes (the first doctor related at the beginning), again upping the ante. But it doesn't achieve much. You have to have really low expectations to like this or have watched it back in the day too. Maybe though you can see through the mist of remembering that it is not funny at all. The main song also reminds me of "Footloose" a lot. I wonder if there was a controversy when the movie came out ... doesn't matter though.

Has all the 80s sexual comedy tropes Names nudity music. It's super funny to go back and watch these type movies thru 2021 lens. They could never really make these type today and get away with it.

LOOSE SCREWS reminds me of other lame sequels to sex romps. HOLLYWOOD HOTTUBS 2, BIKINI CAR WASH 3, EMMANUEL 34...the list goes on and on. And this film is no exception.

I liked the original film, SCREWBALLS. It was a silly comedy about five teen boys trying to get laid, and the many loose women and wacky adventures that the high schoolers encounter. It was a take on PORKY'S, but a much funnier one. There is genuine joy in SCREWBALLS, which is sorely lacking in LOOSE SCREWS.

Once again, we have characters trying to have sex, but the results are less funny this time. There's the fat guy, the nerdy guy, the womanizer: all of the cliches of the genre we have now come to expect. But, the cast is different, and the women are not the same ones from the original. While SCREWBALLS bordered on soft-core (granted very fun soft-core), LOOSE SCREWS is neutered. Nothing worse than a sex romp without sex.

Still, there are a few moments that made me laugh in this film, and maybe if you're feeling less discriminating one night, it's possible to enjoy the movie. Yet, after seeing SCREWBALLS, this film is a very pale second.

Hey, this was one of a line of random movies we rent at parties. We didn't even know that it was the sequel to some other movie, maybe that's a good thing from what I've read. But all I know is that we laughed our heads off the whole movie and has been the best random movie that we rented so far. Now we'll have to go back and try to find that other movie before it.

Pretty much the start of this sequel is same at the start of it's predecessor, plus a few other familarities, even plot. This non awesome foursome are practically pigs, two hunk sorts, plus the geek, and the fatty- CLICHE'D! Right. But too, it's very funny, much funnier than no one, and hot, but also entertaining as.... well you know. One of the things I think I like most, about this typical, did I say cliched, fun T and A comedy, and there's quite a few saucy honeys, not just schoolgirls, and we see them wholily and appreciatively. You never wanna see French in another light again, oh yeh, and she's SMOKIN HOT! You do have to admire it for it's audacity, and this is what this T and A flick is. But too, yes, but, this movie has an awesome title opening soundtrack. But again, a comedy with no substance, but all the guilty pleasures, ala 80's. The girls have brains for peanuts, loving the non awesome foursome's acts of vulgarity never offended or angry, and we too have a sort of Porky's Ms Ballbreaker head mistress, to keep the girls in line.
