Review of Screwballs

Screwballs (1983)
3/10
Crazy antics lead to dull comedy
12 August 2023
Many consider this film a classic teen sex comedy and one of the originators to have inspired later films such as American Pie. The film is as one would expect. The description and plot synopsis is accurate to how the film turned out.

With a short runtime they make sure to include several reoccurring scenes of skin and nudity. This film just feels like a mash up of unrelated skits pieced together. Nothing plotwise exactly flows together. No laughs in the film but it's relatively lighthearted and predictable. The drive thru theatre and bowling scene were done of the highlights. Very predictable ending.

The lead characters came across as try hard perverts where it was hard to root for. Of course the end has the famous pay off where they finally get what they wanted. This film has the skin but overall not that great of a story.
