I recently watched Sweater Girls (1978) on Tubi. The story revolves around a group of young women who grapple with societal pressures. In their quest to boost their self-esteem and outlook, they form a group called the Sweater Girls, aiming to lead wholesome, joyous, and celibate lives. However, their journey isn't as straightforward as they anticipated.

Directed by Don Jones (The Forest) and featuring a cast including Harry Morgan Moses (The Van), Meegan King (Humanoids from the Deep), Carol Anne Seflinger (The Lollipop Cover) and Charlene Tilton (Dallas).

The best part of the film is how well it captures the essence of the 1950s. The era's cars, fashion, and soundtrack are all spot-on. While there are a few topless scenes, the movie predominantly focuses on women in bras. The best scene of the movie is when a woman drives home topless, providing hilarious and well-executed sequence. However, the overall acting tends to be average, with some male characters occasionally overacting, particularly when intoxicated.

In conclusion, Sweater Girls attempts to capitalize on the popularity of similar films like Porky's, Meatballs, and Animal House from its era but falls short of those gems. I would rate this movie 3.5/10 but still recommend giving it a watch at least once.
