Memorable, crazy movie
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
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.
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.
It's a bad copy of the great "Police Academy" series. Two guys (included Don Most of "Happy Days"), go to a Stewardess School for fly and for know girls. Like "P.A.", the team comes transferred in one small society in ruin. They will be just save the company from the closing.Comparison with "Police Academy": The story is the same. Only in that case draft of policemen who must save from the ruin their school.I council this film for who has seen the series of "Police Academy".FINAL VOTE: 4/5
Without the help of Sherman Hemsley cast as a blind airline traveler in shades, STEWARDESS SCHOOL would have been much worse than a major overseas hijacking on board. This is by far the closest thing to POLICE ACADEMY I've ever seen, and it shows itself among all other rip-offs in its class. Bras and undies don't rescue a sour tasteless comedy! You will most definitely forget this one and stick with Mahoney, Hightower, Jones, and the whole gang in numerous P.A. outings. As the Man said, it should've stayed on the shelf!
