A trip to the video store back in the late 80’s was a Pandora’s box of sex and violence. There were so many sex comedies at that time…each with a front cover more titillating than the last…and all I could do is look at those boxes and wonder what kind of naughty delights I was missing out on.
One of the more common flicks you were likely to see at that time was a movie called Preppies. I don’t believe it ever got a DVD release (at least in Canada) so I hadn’t thought of it in forever, but when I saw it streaming on YouTube it unlocked a core memory and gave me a chance to fulfill a prepubescent…
I didn’t know what was happening half the time, but the preppie accents were hilarious. 😂
Part of my From 2024 to 1984, A Month of Time Travel 🕰️ list.
Phew! For the first 20 minutes I was certain this was another stinker from Chuck Vincent (I’m looking at you Warrior Queen!!), but thankfully it redeemed itself.
Katt Shea squirming around in her undies, flailing her arms everywhere, moaning awkwardly “practicing” for potentially losing her virginity later got me good.
Loved the breakdance goth club, how it was decorated with dirty garments on clotheslines, and the naked ladies gogo dancing on garbage cans. Nowhere on Earth or any other galaxy has such a bogus club ever existed.
A by the numbers sex comedy where the snobs are dumb and slobby and the girls are the ones out to get them. Features some truly horrific impressions of people attempting to invoke their inner Lloyd Grossman. It isn't awful, but it's not overly funny and you've seen better films do similar far more effectively.
Another quick in-and-out from Chuck Vincent, legendary porn director who also made these cheap genre movies throughout his career. So the prep lifestyle was an actual thing in the early 80’s. For rich kids who dressed in a certain way, stiff and classical in every sense of the word. Three prep dudes have to pass their final exam or else they’ll lose their scholarship and a huge million dollar heritage. But three hot girls are send by the evil cousin to keep them away from their books. It is a bargain bin teen sex romp not really worth anyone’s time. But it has some fun parts and if you’re into the golden age of porn, it doesn’t hurt to have seen a Chuck Vincent movie, just to say you have seen it. Also starring pornstar Jerry Butler in a cameo.
A few girls are tasked with keeping some college guys distracted for a weekend. They'll get a nice payout if it works, but the boys will lose their trustfunds if they don't pass a big test on Monday.
Katt Shea was sort of entertaining as a snobby sexually repressed snoot, but only if you understand that's not who she normally is.
Stunningly average, overall. It could have benefited from a few really over the top scenes (Chuck, I know you had it in you!) to elevate it to something more memorable.
Silly sex quest romp by the late Chuck Vincent. Katt Shea (who would later go on to direct Stripped to Kill for Roger Corman) has a couple of hot scenes here, but spends too much of the film acting "preppy" which in this case means frumpy clothes, a posh accent, and a wig that makes her look 64.
Jesus H. Christ, Preppies makes Chuck Vincent's Wimps look like Animal House.
This movie sucks so much ass, and my bar for a made-for-Playboy Channel 80s sex comedy is realistically low. I didn't go into this thing expecting La règle du jeu, folks.
Any potential joys that coulda been milked from this turd quickly vanish as it sinks in that everyone will be doing sub-Mad TV style performances for the entire film. Most of the characters stick to these broad cartoon voices... The bad performances are totally unrelenting. Lots of yelling.
This utilizes many of the same locations and sets as the terrible-but-way-better-than-this Wimps, so maybe it takes place in the same Extended Chuck Vincent Universe. Lotsa cardboard sets. The…
Bizarrely sweet for a movie so "dirty" (Little Oral Annie, Sharon Kane and Annette Heinz show up in the background at various points).
Katt Shea makes the well-worn conception of a blue blood ice-queen villainess into a wholly original, borderline surreal comedic creation.
Love this somewhat forgotten 80s sex comedy. A true classic that deserves more recognition.
