more points about this movie

as i said in the other comment screwballs is one of my

favorite movies of all time. mainly because of how funny,and entertaining it is. screwballs is the best sex

comedy of all time! i grew-up on watching this movie. even

though i couldn't understand a lot of jokes i still for

some reason liked it back then. now i understand all the

jokes,and laugh at all of them. it's a movie set in the

1960s. the movie is about five guys at a high school full

of weird,and sex-craved people. the five guys kind of make

a pact to get a shot at the only virgin in their high school. purity bush in all her glory. the five guys are

pretty much all different. they include a guy who's always

bouncing a small ball on the ground where ever he goes,a

guy who's always carrying around a tennis racket,an over

weight guy who's always masturbating,a nerdy guy who's

always scaming ways to look under girl's dresses or to get

them to fall for him in weird ways. and finally a new guy

in school who's really not much of a stereotype. all the

characters are very funny. they all try to get a shot at purity. every time they try to get her is very funny.

it's not for everyone,but it's a must-see for anymore who

loves sex comedies. i give screwballs ***1/2 out of ****
