It's not too bad!, 20 June 1999
Author: Warlock-5 from Canberra

I was never fond of the vile phenomenon that was teen sex comedies. In fact, I never liked them at all. But for some strange reason, I found this rather funny. I actually cracked up when one of the students said this line about the principal, Mr Stuckoff..." Stuckoff can f**k off." I honestly do not know why. As can be expected, there's a lot of poor jokes that just don't work, like the secretary with the stutter and the student, Jerkovsky, who masturbates a lot. I never did finish watching this film, it was on TV at 3 in the morning and I was tired. If I find a copy on video, I'll be pleased to watch it.
