panthersmanlife Hey guys, I'm new to this site and this is my first review. I wanted to write a brief review of Screwballs made in 1983. This is the first time I saw this movie and I must say I really enjoyed it. If you start watching this movie with the mindset that you are going to be blown away by today's standards and humor, you will be disappointed. Keep in mind this was made in the early 80's when movie rentals were starting to first take off and the humor is totally different than the norm today. I thought the jokes and humor in this movie was very funny for the type of comedy it was. If you like the raunchy type late 70's and 80's movies you will love this one. I thought the many different comedy parts throughout the movie were all unique in their own way and the humor was quite funny. I grew up during this time and I guess that's why I like it so much because I can relate to the time. I give it an 8 out of 10. I think it is by far an above average comedy but still lacks the total greatness a 9 or 10 comedy possesses. I will definitely add it to my comedy collection.
Woodyanders Five horny male students at Taft & Adams High (a.k.a. T&A High) join forces and concoct various wild schemes to see the bare breasts of popular uptight tease Purity Busch (well played to the snobby and priggish hilt by the gorgeous Linda Speciale). That's about it for the admittedly slight and silly plot, but what this baby lacks in both substance and subtlety it more than compensates for in sheer boundless energy and a pleasing amount of tasty gratuitous female nudity. Director Rafal Zielinski maintains a constant brisk pace and a playfully dippy tone throughout while the gloriously inane script by Jim Wynorski and Linda Shayne (the latter also acts in the flick as raucous good-time gal Bootsie Goodhead) delivers a steady succession of hilariously crude jokes on such things as breast exams, erections, masturbation, punch spiked with Spanish Fly, and strip bowling. Surprising, said lowbrow humor manages to stay just on the right side of raunchy without ever becoming too gross or offensive. Moreover, the cast really sink their teeth into their colorfully broad roles, with especially stand-out work by Kent Deuters as smooth ladies man Brent Van Dusen III, Alan Deveau as bespectacled nerd Howie Bates, Jason Warren as lovable fat slob Melvin Jerkovski, and Donnie Bowes as the stern Principal Stuckoff. Better still, the deliciously voluptuous Raven De La Croix struts her smoking hot stuff as sexy stripper Miss Anna Tomical. Miklos Lente's slick cinematography, Tim McCauley's zany rockin' score, and the infectiously bouncy soundtrack all further enhance the considerable wacky merriment. A total riot.
rlcsljo Why is it that Canadians are so funny in the United States, but are so lousy in their own country? Did all the good ones leave? Does the Canadian government exercise too much control over productions.Canada is so close to the U.S., I cant believe they don't have a similar sense of sexual humor. Except for one very brief gag, this movie makes no attempt to convey even the slightest motivation as to why teenagers pull the type of pranks they do. Even if you just assume they are just horny adolescents, their gags are highly unoriginal and/or have no original outcome.Perfect example of how to take an 16mm camera, a large cheap cast and make a throw away film.
sgtpepper_74 This movie has some funny moments and some cool characters. but this movie is to much like Porky's and is not on the ball that much. This is just capitalizing on the teen sex craze of the 80's and watching it in the 90's is a little hard to stomach!
