This is another '80s sex comedy, from Canada this time, where apparently social mores are a trifle looser. A major plot point features the main character getting together with her one true love... her cousin. That's about the only memorable detail, apart from the main actress's performance, which is endearingly plucky, making her the sexiest of the movie's many ladies, and surprisingly, she does show some skin. Usually the actual "characters" in these movies keep it all on while the movie works as a revolving door for strippers/nude models/porn starlets to come in front of the camera, bare it all (or some) and then disappear. I was glad to see some T 'n A from the only character in the movie you care anything about, the connection you get with her makes it much more erotic.Anyway, the plot is something about a plucky young lady hosting a party for a hockey team with a bunch of hookers to raise money for... something. I forget. The movie fails at showing a convincing party, and is really just a sequence of unbelievably bad jokes and flashes of nudity. It all feels disjointed, you never get a sense of place or scene, and it's pretty hard to sit through.For another '80s boob comedy that does a far better job of showing a party you can actually believe and might like to go to, see "The Beach Girls".

If this film concentrated more on it's story, than it's sex and nudity in abundance, this would be a better film. This Canadian effort, of course with it's unknowns, some who look great nude, is real cheese ball, sleazy kind of fun, anyway, one strip scene, played to that trademark strip theme, duhdada duhdada... where we see a beaver shot in close up. The deal here is some girlfriends, posing as hookers, work with some real ones as well, entertain a hockey team, to make some big bucks. And when I mean, entertain, I mean really entertain. At this party there's also an indoor pool, and you know what that means. We also some incorporate some mobsters into this story, but I forget why, as seeing the movie back in the nineties. The father of one of the hockey players goes off at the son when he slips a video in the VCR to watch one of his victory games. The same dad likes kinky sex, and playing pranks on some of the girls, one of them running out nude with a live crab that was attached to her you know what. He also likes to crawl backwards underneath a posse of naked women, inspecting their you know what, while wearing a miners cap. If sleaze is your thing, you'll probably get a kick out this, minus laughs, with some hot female bods to boot.

Skinemax-type cable staple of the late 80s, this Canadian shot flesh fest is appallingly unwatchable 25 years later. Found it on the back end of another tape recently, and decided to revisit. Loaded with flat-chested remedial actresses, cartoonish "chase-and-bop" style gags...and incest??? The two leads are boy and girl cousins who have an odd reunification after years apart. Some sort of unresolved crush goes on between them, springboarded by a near kiss at her apartment. But that ain't the half of it. This kissing cousin is a working girl waitress at a mom-n-pop slop house who overhears of a local hockey team's upcoming stag party. Most would shrug it off and clock out. Not this chick. She luckily resides with some fellow unscrupulous bimbos who hit the phones to round up all their female friends so they may commandeer said stag party and collect the $5-grand price tag!! Ah, those moralistic 80s.Utter vacancy ensues, as scores of people run through hallways, faint, giggle, jiggle (their pathetic A-cup breasts), and cavort about in Movie Land as only these events could provide. Don't forget the jealous boy cousin trying to thwart the girl's carnal actions in a poor attempt at romance(???) amid all the chaos. Oh, and one rather large tidbit: despite an 80 minute runtime, at least thirty of those minutes are made up of musical montages. No lie. Thirty minutes. To some poor-man's Pointer Sisters gal group.Actually had a promising beginning, ala Hot Dog in terms of a small-town sports comedy set-up, and Zann has a cute appeal as sort of trashier Meg Ryan, but this whole thing is far beneath any of its late-night nudie rivals of the time.

This Canadian-made 80's sex farce is about a young college girl named Annie McGraw (Lenore Zann), who looks like an unrefined Nomi Malone. She works at a restaurant where she overhears famous hockey players talk about their annual New Year's Bash. They usually pay some shady guy named Wenko $50,000 to stage it, but Annie convinces some friends to help sway the hockey team to let them stage the party so they can gain the 50 grand (or bills) as it's referred to, while Wenko tries to infiltrate the party and make it a failure. So we get all the attributes of the 80's (I won't go through the list again, see my other 80's movie reviews) sex film. Some different things: One of the characters, Johnny-O is a straightlaced about partying as Michael Ontkean's character in Slap Shot was about fighting, a man gets his privates attacked by a live lobster, and the guys are watching a scene from the classic Quebecois-made "Scandale". Once again, this was how Polly Ann Costello, who later became known as Nomi Malone, went by the name of Annie McGraw to start her career in the adult entertainment business.
