Wow, I hated this movie. Attractive women, check. Entertaining? Barely. I thought it was moronic, sexist, and overall not funny. I thought the writers and producer(s) really needed to grow up. Lustful teen guy dressed in drag so he can get into the girls' dorm and ogle the innocent, ditzy, big-breasted chicks is disgusting. Character names like Mona Lott, Steve Hardman, Something Poulet (Pull it...) Hugh Rection...Come on. And racist. Scene in a massage parlor with dorky Asian music and a stupid stereotyped Oriental accent. Yes, this movie was made in the 80s but it still ticked me off. You might enjoy this if you're a immature jerk who's short on brain cells living in your folks' basement. I wish I could get about one hour and one half of my life back. Eye roll.

If you thought Screwballs was a disaster, then by all means pass this one by. I, myself, am not a big fan of T & A movies, but I do love comedies. Luckily for some, this is one of the two, and let's just say I laughed once the whole movie. Come on, guys, really!?? We can't get 17 seconds into the movie without some girl exposing her chest? Then again, we're not exactly expecting ground breaking masterpieces with a title like "Loose Screws", now are we? I mean, let's break it down: First scene of the movie shows a sign outside a school that says BEAVER HIGH. How a bunch of horny guys looking to get laid by girls fail a school like this is beyond me. Oh, yeah, welcome to one of those movies where it's an immature snicker fest at the whole 'get it?' jokes: A man walking around with the name Hugh G. Rection. Get it? Get it! Giggle, giggle...oh, I miss you anyway, 1985. The paper thin plot, barely any plot of Screwballs continues with this sequel. A french teacher is the center of attention for these wacky, goofball candidates to go to Coxwell Academy. The story includes trying to get her out of her clothes. That's it! There's your story! No twists, no turns, no over thinking needed. The comedy, of course, is dumbed down. There's absolutely nothing intelligent about this film, which I suppose makes a great drinking movie when you're drunk, I myself do not drink anymore, so I would much prefer to watch something with more humor, more emotional depth, something. By far, Screwballs is a much better flick then this, and I trashed that movie, so you can use your imagination and figure out what I think of this one. If you like silly comedies drown out by young female nudity, this is the one for you. If you don't, it's not...it's really that simple. For me, if I could get that time back that I spent watching this movie, I would have picked something else to watch.

It's pretty silly and it's the sequel to "Screwballs". A movie that is considered a classic by some. But while you can argue about the quality of the first movie (especially if you had watched it back in the day and like to reminisce about the good old days), it's almost impossible to find anything good in this one. It tries to up the ante, in the sex comedy department, but does not achieve it.It even tries to copy some scenes (the first doctor related at the beginning), again upping the ante. But it doesn't achieve much. You have to have really low expectations to like this or have watched it back in the day too. Maybe though you can see through the mist of remembering that it is not funny at all. The main song also reminds me of "Footloose" a lot. I wonder if there was a controversy when the movie came out ... doesn't matter though.

Four twenty-year olds who have been stuck in the twelfth grade for four years because of all the babes they continue to score with are sent by their fed-up principal to a "special school" in the summer to supposedly teach a lesson, but these leopards don't change their spots.LOOSE SCREWS is basically another in a long line of PORKY'S wannabes with more (less than subdued)sexual innuendo within the jokes, names of characters, and even the schools than you can shake a stick at. Lines of dialogue featured between characters contain—particularly between guys and girls (who seem to be just as naughty and sexually liberated as their horny male counterparts)—constant references to and proposals for sex. The film is a tool of titillation and features non-stop boobage. It seems the casting director must've been very convincing in orchestrating a long line of willing girls with no inhibitions whatsoever, because so many wind up removing their shirts: seriously, the female form is an important character in movies like LOOSE SCREWS. Either you like movies like this or you find them reprehensible, because immoral behavior and open attitudes about shagging at any given moment are the main dish on the menu of LOOSE SCREWS.The plot finds time for the four buddies (with sex ALWAYS on their minds) to compete to see who can bed the new French teacher, keeping a scoring system regarding who can score with the most chicks, with even a beach dance number for good measure. Here's the names for the four main characters: Brad LOVEtt(Bryan Genesse, who dresses in drag so he can spend the night in the female dorm(!), including a bathtub scene with a girl he soon becomes involved with), Steve HARDman(Lance Van Der Kolk, the typical blond hunk who almost gets caught in bed with his new school's principal's wife!), HUgh G. RECTION( Alan Deveau), and Marvin EATMORE (Jason Warren, the heavy character whose appetite and large size were fodder for fat jokes especially in the 80s). When you have female characters named Tracey GRATEHEAD (great head) and MONA LOTT (moan a lot) or even Hilda Von Blow(the typical scary German woman who favors a Butch female Nazi), then you ought to know the kind of sleazy comedy you are in for.There is positively nothing here anything less than gratuitous. There's a visit from the four goofballs to a strip club featuring the usual wet T-shirt contest, not to mention, the "revenge on the principal" lifted right out of PORKY'S (also, the bar the four guys visit is called THE PIGPIN, sheesh) at the end when the gang get even with the disciplinarian who expels them (rightfully so) for their continual antics in his school. The principal, Mr. Arenault (Mike MacDonald), is one of those types who wears a scowl on his face and punishes the gang for their "errors in distaste" (such as writing on the chalkboard 1000 times about not bothering the French teacher, or cleaning the school floors with a tooth brush) so you know he will be victimized at the very end for such deeds. Deborah Lobban is the French teacher the boys try to get jiggy with—the "hot teacher" angle played to the hilt as only the 80s could do it. I think many films lift the sex from PORKY'S without seeing the other ingredients which made the movie such a success: there's heart and strong characterizations in that movie, including the awesome authenticity of the period depicted, which seem left out of all the imitators.
