Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

sol- Assorted misfits train to become flight attendants at a special college and get up to mischief while living on campus in this curious attempt to cross 'Animal House' with 'Airplane!' and 'Police Academy'. Long unavailable on DVD, the film does not have the most positive of reputations, but it does have a small cult following and it easy to see why. The gags that misfire are absolutely groan-inducing (flatulence in an elevator; a zillion pratfalls), but the ones that work are highly memorable - the best of which being the way one very innovative stewardess 'relieves' a stressed-out claustrophobic passenger. Another memorable part involves a prank on the female change rooms gone awry. Juvenile as some of the gags are (a literal salami to hide), the chief pitfall of the film is the lack of well developed characters. The two main male characters do not have much in the way of charm and charisma, while the female characters are barely defined beyond what they were before becoming stewardesses: spoiled rich kid, prostitute, etc. The fact that there are no big name stars in the cast has probably also contributed to the film's descent into obscurity (though Wendie Jo Sperber is great as always). This is, however, a far more decent film than one might expect with some positive and affirming messages about the ability of outcasts and those in the periphery to band together and succeed as a team. It would be an overstatement to describe 'Stewardess School' as an inspirational film, but it is an offbeat testament to the power of teamwork at the very least.

SnoopyStyle Philo Henderson (Brett Cullen) can barely see without his contacts or glasses. He and best friend George Bunkle (Don Most) fail out of flight school. George gets them into stewardess school's four week course. Cindy Adams (Corinne Bohrer)'s rich parents bribe her biker boyfriend Snake to send her back to school. Kelly Johnson (Mary Cadorette) is jinxed and caused chaos as a concert drummer. Wanda Polanski (Sandahl Bergman) quits wrestling for a chance at love. Former hooker Sugar Dubois (Judy Landers) is on probation. Pimmie Polk (Julia Montgomery) is bubbly. Jolean Winters (Wendie Jo Sperber) is weight-conscious.Brett Cullen is not good enough to be the comedic lead. To make matters worst, Don Most is the comedic side-kick. The actresses have some characters with comedic potential. Who knows if the girls could have been better on their own. I don't think they're sharp enough either. A few of them have played opposite comedians and Wendie Jo has some skills. The material simply isn't there. This is a weak comedy with no laughs.

Lee Eisenberg I nearly laughed myself to death watching "Stewardess School". True, it's basically an "Animal House" knock-off, but it is SO HILARIOUS! Don Most basically reprises his role as "Happy Days" goof-off Ralph Malph. This time, he and his hapless friend (Brett Cullen) train to became flight attendants (I don't think that anyone says stewardess anymore). The training consists of pranks and partying, with some scenes looking lifted from "Porky's". But without a doubt the best scene occurs on the plane. When a man starts losing control of himself, sexy babe Sugar Dubois (Judy Landers) figures out how to calm him down using a method that any guy would give all his limbs for.It's just an enjoyably silly flick. The only other cast members whom I recognized are Vito Scotti (who appeared on just about every TV in the 1960s), Wendie Jo Sperber (of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "1941") and the recently deceased Sherman Hemsley (best known for "The Jeffersons", which I've never seen).In conclusion, I really AM gonna take you on a sea cruise.

mpodol I saw this film on HBO in the Bahamas in 1988, and my life was indelibly and profoundly changed as a result. Sometimes a film just touches your heart. It hits some sort of nerve, and you look at the world differently. Great art does that. Stew School did that.Following my seeing this film..this masterpiece..my life took on new meaning. I became intensely focused and extremely goal-oriented. Every day was like a gift. Whenever I was feeling down, I just thought about Snake and a smile came to my face. Whenever I was thinking I just couldn't do something, I think of Larry Falkwell trying to retrieve the keys. Whenever I worry about my health, Paul Barselou's brilliant characterization of the medical field eases my mind. Not a day in my life goes by that I don't think of this film. Why it was not included in AFI's 100 movies of all time, I'll never understand. Why, "Big chunks" did make AFI's 100 best movie quotes is beyond explanation. Thank God I went to the Bahamas in 1988. Thank God I got a horrible sunburn and had to stay inside watching TV. Thank the lord the hotel had HBO. And I shudder to even think how empty my life would have been had Stew School not been on HBOs lineup in February of 1988.
