Slumber Party '57

Six friends get together at a slumber party and recount the stories of their first intimate encounters. I believe this is Debra Winger's first movie role. Cheryl Smith also stars in this. There's plenty of T and A from the cast. Each of the gals in the main cast are attractive.

Slumber Party '57 is a decent movie for what it is. It's fairly entertaining for it's 89 minute runtime. It's also got a good soundtrack of '50s tunes. You could certainly do worse for this type of movie. I think it's considered a comedy, but I can't honestly say that it's funny. It's basically just a 1970s teen movie.

With her parents gone for the weekend and nothing else to do, a high school student named "Sherry" (Cheryl Smith) invites five of her friends to her house for a slumber party. After frolicking in the swimming pool for a while, the young women go into the house and, while helping themselves to some free alcohol, decide to take turns sharing stories about their first time with a man. What follows are lurid scenes, each one exaggerated beyond belief. Now, rather than reveal any more, let me just say that although this film is billed as a comedy, it's really more of a sexploitation film because the humor isn't very sharp. However, it should also be noted that during this particular period, drive-ins were starving for just about anything they could get their hands on since mainstream theaters were acquiring all of the popular films. Thus, this type of movie was a staple for outdoor theaters at the time. Unfortunately, the quality of these films was often lacking, and this movie is no exception. There are, however, several attractive females featured, with Mary Appleseth (as "Jo Ann"), Bridgett Hollomon ("Bonnie May"), and Janet Wood ("Smitty") standing out the most, in my opinion. Even so, none of them were capable of transforming this rather dull and historically flawed film into something truly remarkable, and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

This is really just a harmless and amusing 70's teen T&A flick that drive-ins were famous for back then. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you.

For example, for a movie supposedly set in 1957, nearly all the songs on the soundtrack were actually released between 1958 and 1964. Furthermore, the movie being shown at the drive-in, "Cauldron of Blood," didn't come out until 1967! But this movie isn't really about sophisticated things like "details" (LOL). It's about beautiful girls frolicking around, showing off their bodies, and boasting about their sexual conquests. The late Cheryl "Rainbeaux" Smith is stunning as always (though her character never gets as fully developed as the others). Debra Winger (in her first role) is also beautiful. And look for the late "Superchick-turned-astrologer" Joyce Jillson as a carhop! What's not to love?

When the acting is this bad and the bodies this great and the plot this lame, you need someone to harass and murder off these babes one by one to give meaning to the theatrical movie experience.

The girls are gorgeous and oft times appear topless, bottomless, or naked and they do make fun of some of the sleazier aspects of 50's drive-in movies (and I like almost anything Chery/Rainbow smith is in--although she did not go nude in this one), but they did not capitalize as well as they could have on the foundation that was laid.

It seems like all things fifties, the best thing was the music.

Slumber party...oh, what´s sweets memories... I have seen it when I had ten years old and I discover the sex during its vision. When the movie finished, I started again... and again. More than five women naked in front of me... and mum and dad will not leave until ten o´clock in the morning... The swimming pool scene... Debra Winger and the banana...the drive-in... All of that excited me me more than every women in my life. I give it an excited, hot and gorgeous ten. Thank you for this wonderful, amazing auto-sex time, Mr Levine. God bless you America!!!!
