Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Steineded How sad is this?
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Matt Hyde This movie is really amazing. For anyone who wants to have some fun without any moral standards I recommend this. Quite a movie to watch with some buddies drinking some beers and LOLing during the whole thing!!this kind of flick might seem stupid or superficial if you don't understand what you're going for here, I came to like this one after a series of failed 00's comedies, and for that I say that there's nothing like that 80s vibe that this one and so many more other movies have. I'll probably remember the final scene for the rest of my days as a movie fanatic.
Scott LeBrun "Screwballs" is one of the most priceless of 1980s sex comedies, a deliberately nutty, over the top farce set in the 1960s and intended to be styled like a comic book. True enough that it doesn't have very much of a story, and is mostly a series of outrageous sexy gags. But who in their right mind is going to *want* a story when it comes to this sort of thing? They get exactly what they want, and that's titillation writ large. To hell with subtlety, am I right? The actors are all very enthusiastic, and the movie does have a certain energy and charm that makes it impossible to resist.Basically, the set-up is that five disparate, incredibly horny guys - Rick (Peter Keleghan), Brent (Kent Deuters), Howie (Alan Deveau), Melvin (Jason Warren), and Tim (Jim Coburn) - meet in detention. They become obsessed with the reigning virgin / tease at their school, the aptly named Purity Busch (Linda Speciale), and make it their mission to either get with her, or at the very least, get an eyeful of her breasts.Co-written by Jim Wynorski and co-star Linda Shayne (who plays the easygoing Bootsie Goodhead), and directed with verve by Rafal Zielinski, "Screwballs" is pretty damn childish, but that's the point of this whole thing. Among the assorted escapades, the sleazy quintet run afoul of their uptight principal, Stuckoff (Donnie Bowes), play a game of strip bowling, create havoc at a drive-in (where the Roger Corman production "The Arena" (or, as it's titled in this movie, "The Wild Women of Wango") is playing on the screen, ogle a stripper (who's played by the great Raven De La Croix), and contrive some methods of leering at the private parts of the many attractive female cast members.There's just enough female flesh to satisfy, and the filmmakers do make sure that there's a proper payoff at the end - after which the end credits promptly start rolling. They do know how to send you away with a smile.Eight out of 10.
disdressed12 i didn't find anything special about this alleged sex comedy.i think i laughed twice throughout the movie.the whole thing is really random and incoherent in my opinion.but it wasn't the worst movie i've ever seen or the worst of the genre,for that matter.it isn't very memorable though.in a day or two,i'll have forgotten most of the movie.i thought the soundtrack was pretty lame also.there are a fair amount of naked breasts in the movie,but that alone doesn't make it worth watching,in my books.it's touted as a raunchy sex comedy,in fact 'the raunchiest sex comedy of the 80's' but i didn't think it was raunchy at all.for me,Screwballs is a 3/10
Rumples As a classy movie this one rates a 0 - but as a fun frolicking teenage sex romp it is unquestionably a 10! I would have to say that this is a classic of the genre and I must agree with the other comments that have been made here (and totally disagree with Leonard Maltin). If you like this type of raucous fluff and you're into a titty movie that isn't a full-on porno, this just might be what you're after. They definitely don't make them like this anymore, pity really, they were lots of fun and every boy's dream.
