Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Few hopes of good cinema survive the title; none the opening scenes, where two big-breasted cheerleaders and an outsize sausage set the tawdry tone. What relentlessly follows concerns the students of Taft and Adams High School, remarkable only for their average age (around thirty) and their avid interest in tits. Now, however one rates the bosom as an erogenous zone, it takes the talents of a Russ Meyer to make it interesting for eighty minutes. Watching the unflagging, unfunny efforts of five callow youths to see the homecoming queen's breasts, one only wonders if ever in the field of endeavour so much has been done by so many for just two.Author: FD

- Posted on Jun 10 2008 21:15 What is really missing from this movie is a girls locker room scene. Most of these kinds of movies have a scene early on in the movie set in the girls locker room with a bunch of teenage girls prancing in their undies and then jumping in the shower together.
