I must admit, I watched Allan Moyle's Pump Up The Volume religiously for almost a year when I was sophomore in college. So the other day while I was perusing a new blockbuster in my area I came across this curious film. I was interested, so I rented it. I'm so sorry and ask for penance.
JAILBAIT is one of those self aware teenie-bopper flicks which I later found out had it's premiere on MTV. It thinks it a comedy; to bad it isn't funny. It thinks it's camp; to bad it's disjointed and stupid. You know, the nicest thing I can say about this film is that it's in focus.
It stars Kevin Mundy (3000 Miles to Grace Land) as Jim Darling, the most popular senior in his high school. He has a girlfriend named Amber (Regan Pasternak) who won't give him sexual gratification. So he finds it in Gynger, (Alica Purrot) a trailer trash sexpot who's a sophomore. All hell breaks loose when Gynger becomes pregnant, Jim is charged with statutory rape, an Amber is hurt but for some reason is oblivious to how much of an idiot Jim is.
There's not one smart person in this film. Everyone is a dolt, there's no voice of reason, and so about 10 minutes in you've lost all interest. Except the story thinks this is funny, so it throws in zingers left and right, not one of which is funny.
Fortunately the film is short, barely 80 minutes, but early on there are two sequences thrown in because I think someone felt it necessary to stretch the running time. The first scene is of Gynger lying there in her underwear staring at a photo. The next is a four minute Music video, with a bunch of unidentifiable girls (possibly some failed band) singing and a take-off of Britney Spears `Hit Me Baby One More Time.'
The film is also quite sexually explicit for the first 4 or 5 minutes. Then for some reason it's all reigned in. This is probably best explained by its inclusion as an original movie from MTV. I can honestly say this film is the WORST MTV film ever, even worse than JOE'S APARTMENT.
Director Allan Moyle should be ashamed of this film. Especially since some of his other work is far better (Pump Up The Volume and The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag are great). I'll give him this one as a lapse in judgment after that I don't know. I'd rather be in jail than sit through JAILBAIT again.
