![]() Story is about horny teenagers from two prep schools where the boys and girls engage in raucous behavior from peering into windows to sneaking into showers. This is one of those horny teenager films that came out in the 1980's and it's easily just as dumb as most of them but looking at the young cast today this could be interpreted as a curio for this genre. Private School is enjoyably silly trash for those who love immature teen comedies with loads of nudity (ie., me!). Russell riding a horse in slow motion, and an appearance by Emmanuelle herself, Sylvia Kristel, who, unsurprisingly, plays the sex education teacher. ![]() Viewers are also treated to a great cheesy dance routine with the girls (clad in lycra leotards and leg-warmers) bending and stretching (to the song The American Girl by Rick Springfield), a real corker of a shower scene, the unforgettable sight of a topless Ms. Cates keep herself mostly covered up in this movie, the vivacious Betsy Russell does her best to compensate by getting her ample charms out at the drop of a hat. Private School may not be the greatest example of its genre (I think that accolade goes to Fast Times at Ridgmont High, also starring Phoebe Cates), but it still has bags of 80s charm, a likable cast and, of course, loads of quality tits and ass on display! And although Ms. ![]() Meanwhile, Jim's school buddies involve him in all sorts of crazy capers in a desperate attempt to see (and hopefully score with) as many naked babes as possible. They are planning their first night of passion together but, when busty bitch Jordan (Betsy Russell) sets her sights on Christine's guy, they find that the course of true love n'er did run smooth (as some poet once wrote). Christine (Phoebe Cates), a student at an all girls school, is in love with Jim (Matthew Modine), who is attending a nearby academy for boys. For these reasons, I am willing to cut the movie a lot of slack. It is, however, an 80s teen sex-comedy and, furthermore, it is an 80s teen sex-comedy that stars the most gorgeous actress to have ever graced this earth, the delicious Phoebe Cates. Private School (for Girls) is a teen sex-comedy that isn't particularly funny, and doesn't feature much sex. For those who may question the logic of the Hound giving all ten stars to this film: Heck, that scene with Betsy Russell topless on the horse was worth eight stars by itself!!! 10 of 10 stars. Wouldn't it be fun to hear what Matthew Modine would think today about this early role in his distinguished career? And Martin Mull may have been hiding behind a beard for his little three minute cameo, but the appearance was well-appreciated! He must have snuck this little bit part in between takes of Mr. Curiously enough, there is no DVD commentary by any of the actors in this film. There is tons of random nudity so you will get your money worth in that department. The soundtrack featuring Phoebe Cates singing on two different tracks is much better than you would expect, as well. The cast which contains many recognizable faces puts as much into their roles as they've done in any other films. The resulting action plays out in the most satisfactory of ways. Christine's next door neighbor, the lovely and talented Betsy Russell, is out to steal Jim for herself using methods that would certainly grab any young man's attention. They are trying to lose their virginity under the best possible circumstances, but there are of course complications and misunderstandings. The film has a serious undercurrent in how it deals with the relationship between Christine Ramsey (Phoebe Cates) and Jim Green (Matthew Modine). Simply put, the guys are trying to either score with the ladies, or at least get a good Polaroid of them coming out of the shower. Of course when I say "social interaction" I mean sex. Some days, isn't that all a guy really needs? It's about time this one came out on DVD! The film deals with the social interactions between girls from Cherryvale and the young men from the nearby Freemount Academy. The people who created this gem intended only to make us smile and show us some skin and make a little money in the process. There is no hidden agenda or deeper meaning or political motives here. ![]() There is something truly irresistible about a film that sets out only to entertain its audience. In a genre that gave us many enjoyable films, Private School may well be the best of the bunch.
