NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Woodyanders Handsome, but shy high school freshman Alex Carson (a solid and likable performance by Martin Yost) has a crush on new girl next door Sally Clark (an appealing portrayal by the fetching Heather Kennedy). Carson and his mischievous pal Nick (winningly played with delightful brash aplomb by Jeff Edmund) install hidden video cameras close to Sally's house so they can secretly tape Sally and her friends in action.While the basic premise sounds like your standard raunchy horny adolescent fare, writer/director William Olsen for the most part refreshingly eschews said expected lowbrow antics to place more of an emphasis on the engaging and believable teenage characters, with Alex's awkward pining for Sally providing a substantial amount of real heart and sweetness. However, Olsen still delivers a satisfying smattering of bare female skin and several amusing wacky moments while maintaining an affable good-natured and lighthearted tone throughout. Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast, with especially praiseworthy contributions from Mark Alan Ferri as Nick's swaggering macho older brother Richard, Kathy Brickmeier as Richard's bubbly girlfriend Marilyn, C.K. Bibby as uptight killjoy principal Mr. White, and Caroline McDonald as Alex's perky mom. The right-on rock soundtrack hits the groovy spot. Austin McKinney's bright cinematography gives this picture an attractive sunny look as well as makes nifty occasional use of wipes and split screen. A nice little film.
anxietyresister How can someone make a 90 minute feature and still end up with absolutely nothing? The answer lies within the confines of the tape of this (thankfully very rare) so-called "sex comedy" which jettisoned both claims to such an extent it should be prosecuted under the False Claims act. Supposedly about a high school boy who gets state of the art video equipment (for 1983) to spy on his sexy female next door neighbour getting undressed, it actually abandons this sick but promising premise about half-way through in favour of a myriad of sub-plots about five uninteresting character's love-lives. Unfortunately this plays out as all talk and no action, so skin fans will be bored out of their skulls, and everybody else will be tearing their hair out at the amateurish acting and the extreme slow pace of the movie. So to sum up then, a film for no-one. Right, back to the video store we go.. 2/10
Startpistolen Propably one of the best movies made last century! The nude flamethrower was awesome!!! Have seen it at least 15 times the last month!! Does anybody know when the DVD-release is going to be. Great movie!! MostSeeMovie
joeylinville Something has to be the worst movie ever. I believe this is a viable candidate. Humor that's not funny, sex that's not enticing, dialogue that's not coherent--the lack of inspiration makes one pause. Why on Earth would anyone make such a bad movie? I saw it in high school after being duped into it by friends. We all agreed to never tell we'd seen any of it, let alone sat through the entire thing. God! Did it suck! You should see just to see if I'm right about this or not.
