Featured review
It's the 60's at Taft and Adams (T&A) High School. The boys are sex obsessed. Five boys get detention for sexual misconducts. Purity Busch is responsible for the demise of some of them. The boys vow to get back at the impossible Busch.
This Canadian high school sex romp tries to follow the great success of Porky's. The production is lower level. It certainly doesn't have anything as iconic as the shower scene. It's a poor attempt at a money grab. Some of the pranks are confused. It does precede Revenge of the Nerds. The difference is that the guys are not really friends. There is no character work here. It's just an excuse of T&A, mostly T. I'm guessing the local strippers got some extra work. The only joke that worked is the name of the high school. It's so on the nose that it's funny. Otherwise, non of it is funny. This is weak.
