See this with Beer League
This long forgotten movie is a perfect companion piece to Artie Lange's "Beer League". This movie has its moments, and while not as funny as Beer League, it is still quite entertaining. There is an actress named Precious Colquist who is in the beginning of the movie who delivers a killer line, wanted to see more of her. She rocked! Has she done anything else? The female softball players were all hot, especially Jenni Hetrick .The only person I recognized was Al Corley from "Dynasty". This film is basically in the R rated comedy genre but more reminiscent of "Porky's+ than say Animal House. Should get another push on DVD. It seems right to see it now with the success of Beer League.
PORKYS got the fame this deserved
Okay, let me be blunt: about two thirds of this movie just flat out sucks, and many of the ideas in it are done to death. But the things that are funny are work like a charm. It's one of the very few 80s sex comedies that actually snuck a joke or two in that weren't about gay people to go alone with the pale, not very attractive TA. The feminism seems, looking at what Troma did after this, kind of like lip service, but it's still better than most competition. The plot is a bunch of softball players generally irritate their significant others, and they form a female softball team. And the music is great.
Squeezes life out of a dead situation.
Squeeze play is a slightly disappointing effort from, what was then an early TROMA team (It was their first financial success! Anyone who's seen one of there films will understand why) It's about a group of guys who play softball, and after a while their girlfriends get sick of it, so they make an all girl softball team, and the challenge begins. Obviously this movie sounds a bit tired, but the scene where the guy catches the ball with his butt is hysterical, and the surprise ending when the girls aren't even annoyed seems a bit unrealistic, but who cares? This is movie is supposed to be fun, and generally it is.
Surprisingly tame for a Troma movie
SQUEEZE PLAY is one of many high school sex comedies being made in the late '70s and early '80s. It feels a little like PORKY'S mixed with an ANIMAL HOUSE vibe, but as an independent Troma flick the quality is far below either of those movies. It's also a disappointingly tame production, with very little of the sex or nudity as promised on the film's poster. The story is the usual battle of the sexes set in the world of softball. Director Lloyd Kaufman is unable to overcome his film's cheapness and the result veers into boredom throughout.
Further proof that Troma comedies totally rock
Here we go once again. When it comes to making blithely silly and lowbrow comedies that deliver plenty of enormous belly laughs and a handy helping of tasty distaff nudity, few low-budget indie studies have this winning formula down better than those fine folks at Troma. A reigning all-male softball team has their championship status challenged by a formidable all-female rival team in a high stakes game in order to determine which team is better. Director Lloyd Kaufman, working from a cheerfully inane and good-natured script by Charles Kaufman and Haim Pekelis, relate the joyfully dippy and dynamic story at a constant snappy pace and offer a lively array of amusingly dumb jokes that certainly won't win any awards for either taste or subtlety, but nonetheless still tickle the funny bone something sweet. The lead actresses are quite attractive and appealing: Jennifer Hetrick as feisty, spunky ladies' softball team captain Samantha, Helen Campitelli as the perky Jamie, Melissa Michaels as sweet'n'sassy Southern belle Mary Lou, and Diana Valentien as the brash Maureen. The rest of the cast also give very likable and spirited performances, with especially praiseworthy contributions from Jim Harris as cocky, hunky male softball team captain Wes, Al Corley as amiable clod Buddy, Michael P. Moran as belligerent fat jerk Bozo, and William Kirksey as a hearty sports announcer. The big game is funny, bawdy, and highly entertaining. Kudos are also in order for the infectiously bouncy soundtrack. A yummy wet t-shirt contest set piece hits the deliciously naughty spot, too. Okay, so we ain't talking Oscar caliber work of profound cinematic art here, but this flick still rates as one tremendously entertaining raunchy'n'raucous romp all the same.
