Private School (1983)
Member Rating:  
Three of the hallmarks of education in America -- nudity, teenage sex, and big, destructive gags -- are on plentiful display in this teen comedy. Christine (Phoebe Cates), a student at an exclusive all-girls private school, is in love with Jim (Matthew Modine), who attends an academy for boys nearby. Christine's archrival Jordan (Betsy Russell) also has her eye on Jim, and she is willing to do whatever she can to steal him away. Jim's über-slob buddy Bubba (Michael Zorek) is going with Betsy (Kathleen Wilhoite), Christine's cynical friend, though he would probably be unfaithful if any other woman were willing to get near him. Bubba and his pals sneak into the girls' school dressed in drag in hopes of reaching the Promised Land (better known as the women's shower room), while Christine and Jim run away together for the weekend, though their escapade isn't as romantic as they had hoped. Among the adults observing the chaos are Ray Walston, Fran Ryan, Martin Mull, and Sylvia Kristel; one of the sexy students on display is future scream queen Brinke Stevens. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Wannabe "Animal House"/"Porky's" with more t&a. Directed for teenagers, full of low brow humor and pranks(flaming bag of dog poo, ect.). Only thing that drags is the relationship between Modine and Cates, as Phoebe is the virgin of the movie. Michael Zorek was great as the sex crazied (Pluto wannabe) big guy and Betsy Russell (as Jorden) was smoking HOT.-Stone

I rented this movie hoping it was more like Phoebe Cates' other movie; Paradise. I was disappointed. This was just a typical '80's panty-raid-a-thon with lots of BFD nudie sceens and very little of a nude Phoebe Cates.

Cheesy 80s horny teen comedy. Not good like Porky's but not bad either. Lots of T&A.

Typical sophomoric teenage T&A movie. The plot was not very sophisticated, but then again, I expected as much. There was some good eighties music in the soundtrack, and lots of hot topless chicks.

This movie is just dreadful. But Betsy Russell is worth watching over and over again. She could be the hottest chick ever. There is no way you could watch this and not want that bod..........................yummy ! The movie is a zero but she is a straight out ten.

If your a 14 year old boy, you might get some kicks out of this movie...but if your any older then that or a girl chances are your just going to find it annoying and offensive. I collect movies from the 80's and picked this one up for super cheap and a flea market. If you find this for 3$ or cheaper, okay pick it up...but if not stay far far away. there are some good moments, but overall the annoying T and A factor is just too much for a normal person to handle.
