Let's be realistic.
good back-story, and good acting
A lot of fun.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreCalling Kurt Russell and Medville College! Riding around in a van reminiscent of the one from Scooby Doo, a group of unambitious senior college students start a sex survey group to help them get laid and live life they want to in order to avoid responsibility. It becomes more successful than their wildest dreams, so they must find men willing to pay to help them out, and that's the whole plot in a nutshell.It's not difficult to imagine what kind of movie venue this played in 1978, and it wasn't the kiddie matinée of Disney's college romps that while mediocre at best are still a massive improvement over this. Any film that starts its credits with a list of "A" actors not in the film is heading for desperation, and while the cast is filled with mostly likable unknowns, they certainly are not in the caliber of Newman, Redford, McQueen, Pacino, etc. Edward Andrews, a veteran of the Disney comedys, has a small role, but his presence simply points out the rip-off of the Disney films with lots of T&A included. Alan Reed, as the eccentric scientist whose study is the sexual prowess of the young, does nothing to add any humor to this. "Three's Company" fans will recognize Priscilla Barnes (the last of the roommates) and savvy soap fans will recognize Jeffrey Byron as one of the college kids who gets wheeled in from the van while still in bed with a young woman into their dorm. Hey Hey We're the Monkeys!
View MoreGroup of college boys don't want to leave their college and ask their parents for more funds so they can further their education with other college degrees. In other words, they really want to be professional students and live a carefree live at the expense of the parents or other people. These college guys come up with some wild ideas concerning the complete cooperation of plenty of females as well as, a nutty professor who is studying the sex life of an insect. This is definitely a sexy comedy with plenty of nudity and this film pulls no punches at a certain religion and peoples deep beliefs in a Higher Power. However, it is a comedy and you have to view it as a big joke to have been produced and directed. Dennis Quaid and Priscilla Barnes gave an outstanding performance.
View MoreOkay, so this is not the greatest movie ever made. I agree. I must say it had an interesting story line. Although this is not the type of movie that I normally watch, much less purchase, I did buy a copy. Why, you ask. My father played the judge. He died shortly after filming was completed. I was 12 years old at the time. This is the only piece of his work that I own, so I will treasure it. I am still trying to track other works down. He was a commercial actor as well as movies.Well, I can at least say that my dad was in a movie with Dennis Quaid.
View Moreokay, this isn't close to the best low-budget 80's college movie, but i don't think it's all that bad- i think it's a wonderful satire on laisez faire capitalism, and, although not hilarious, it does has some snippits of clever dialogue in that bent. I don't know, compared to this s%#@ that comes out nowadays, I have to like it more.
