Hollywood High

For years, I loved this movies even though I only saw the crappy USA Up-All Nite version. When I recently saw this uncut on video, it was like going back into time. For a movie about a bunch of girls just trying to enjoy their teenage years and sexuality, this film has taken a lot of hits, but it still ranks up there as one of the best boobie flicks I have ever seen. Highly recommended, for those of you that like cheesy, soft-core flicks that are supposed to be silly.

Hollywood High is amazing in the sense that the whole movie goes nowhere. The movie looks like it was all shot with one camera because that would be the only excuse for editing that's this bad. Every single joke (and there are tons) is so incredibly bad and is followed by a few seconds of silence, making the characters look like even bigger losers than we already knew they were. The musical interludes are the most painful, since they use up about five minutes at a time and result in absolutely nothing but the same mindless frolicking, over and over. The four lead female characters are all similar - stupid Hollywood bombos who love to smother each other with their breasts. The worst of the four male counterparts was Fenz, the most blatant Fonz ("Happy Days") knock-off ever. The others were equally stupid, they just didn't say as much. The movie becomes more irrational as it nears the end. The girls let an old lady screw their boyfriends (simultaneously), leaving them weak but very happy. The movie ends with breasts.

This is the type of movie that one would expect to see at a drive-in on a Friday or Saturday Night wedged between two better crap movies. Except this one would probably send everybody to the concession stands if not running to the exits.

Four horny teenage couples in California run around looking for places to make out and have sex. That's pretty much the whole plot. Throw in a retired aging actress with a ten bedroom mansion, a horny bumbling cop, a really bad Fonzie rip-off named "The Fenz", a drunk Spanish beach bum, a dwarf mechanic, a silly gay French teacher, some of the wors t songs in history ever used as a soundtrack, not-even-junior high-level-drama acting, and a six minute food right and there you go. No plot or story. Except for the aging actress, the rest of the supporting characters pass through with no real link to the story (and remember, there IS no story). The only reason I was able to sit through this is bc the four girls were quite hot and sexy and there were some great T&A shots as they were either dressed in hot pants or bikini-clad. Otherwise this is totally non-essential viewing even if you're a fan of the B-movie/drive-in genre like me.

"Hollywood High" has a great ingredient for a solid movie: a bunch of dreamy girls in various stages of undress. Unfortunately, the rest of the ingredients are terrible. This kind of movie doesn't need a strong plot but it needs some plot. The jokes don't all have to be funny but some of them should be. As far as the male cast members go, you need a couple of them to be mildly interesting. "Hollywood High" is a not so hot "one and done" watch. Honorable mention: a dreamy Rae Sperling.

This movie is so silly it feels improvise from scene to scene and the editing is confusing at times but I do like the four girls with their simple quest of finding a place so they can hook up with their boyfriends.
