Please don't spend money on this.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

It's quite entertaining. I first discovered it in college, and my gay roommate and I found Pat Ast to be one of the most undiscovered comedic gems of the decade in it. The fantastic lines in this film come one after the other, and almost twenty years later, I still quote it. The usual B-movie WiP tropes abound, with Wendy O. Williams adding just the right amount of wrong. Nothing is terribly salacious, frankly, so if you're looking for a lot of naked women in lingerie giving each other sponge baths, you're not going to find it here, although there is plenty of just plain naked, but if you want some genuine action scenes, a lot of cursing, and some acting that will entertain you, along with some of the cleverest dialogue you will hear in a crappy movie, you will not be disappointed. You can enjoy this film with a clear conscience. It certainly delivers entertainment. PS--TINY SPOILER--there is one scene where a kitten meets an unfortunate end but you don't see anything on camera. It definitely has impact.

First, I'm not a huge fan of Women in Prison films (W.I.P.), but like every men, i love beautiful women in underwear and thongs so this kind of movies always deliver in that department, at least. Reform School Girls is more like a parody of the genre, or at least a not-that serious movie. Its in the line of those Troma movies like "Lust for freedom" or "They call me macho woman". Wendy O. Williams is here performing a bad girl and she is always in thong, just like every other chick in this movie.Well, except for the obese wicked warden, thanks god she keeps her clothes on. Also there is plenty of rock n roll and punk music, much of them performed by Wendy O Williams herself. Thats another highlight. There isn't a lot of nudity, and near no sex. Thats a letdown for this kind of movies but overall, its entertaining and it features very good rock n roll music. 5/10

Cheesy 1980s women-in-prison flick. It's kind of fun. Very much modeled on 1950's seminal wip film Caged, this one stars Linda Carol as a good girl who gets caught up in her boyfriend's crime and gets sent to jail for it where she must deal with a violent lesbian gang (led by punk star Wendy O. Williams), a domineering warden (Sybil Danning) and a sadistic headmistress (Pat Ast). At first, the ridiculous lingerie that all the prisoners wear and all the shower scenes are amusing, but like most low budget schlock it starts to grow tiresome after a while. A couple of great sequences keep it from getting unwatchable, especially the one where Carol has sex with this incredibly ugly dude (who I think is actually supposed to be a stud) who is going to help her escape. Thankfully, the part where Ast discovers the inmates' pet kitten (as happens in Caged) is freaking hilarious, and everything from there to the way over-the-top climax is bad movie gold. I spent much of the movie wondering where the heck I'd seen supporting actress Sherri Stoner before. She looked so damned familiar. Apparently she was the live-action model for Ariel in The Little Mermaid (www.radix.net/~koalatek/sstoner.jpg)! She also voiced Slappy the Squirrel in Animaniacs!

Taking time out from the John Wayne Marathon for a public service. In anticipation of our favorite heiress going to jail next month, I wanted something that she might watch to give her an idea of what to expect, I found this movie with some bizarre characters like Wendy Williams, lead singer for the infamous 80s punk rock band, 'The Plasmatics,' who committed suicide a few years ago. She was absolutely beyond belief as she paraded the entire movie in leather or panties, and even a thong at the end.Of course there was Sybil Danning, from the Grindhouse segment Werewolf Women of the SS as the bible-spouting Warden, who looked the part of an SS She-Wolf.Pat Ast was the 350-lb matron who burned a bunny, stomped on a kitten and got justice for her evil laugh.There were two shower scenes and one Rambo-type fire hose scene that was way more cool that Rambo: First Blood.Food fights, girl fights, riots, and bra and panties for most of the movie. Our little heiress should get a good taste of prison life with this film.
