[net.movies] Warning

hawk@oliven.UUCP (09/11/84)

I should have known better, but it was a double feature at a place that never
has them.  Beware of "Sweater Girls" and "[Going?] All the Way"  The first
could have been a good movie--girls get upset at their boyfriends in the 1950's
and form a club--the Sweater Girls.  Not as bad as "The Dorm That Dripped
Blood" but bad enough to be listed as the second worst movie I've seen.  [No, I
haven't seen plan 9] After the first half-hour, Chris asked me how much longer
every five minutes or so.  Only reason to go to this one is to watch for the
low budget anachronisms--recent Pabst labels on the beer bottles in the wooden
case, aluminum beer cans, etc.  One word summary: Awful.  rating on any scale:
one.  This looks like a film where they ran out of money and didn't finish
filming, just released.  Finally, the acting in this would have got a "D" at
best in my acting for non-majors  course.

"All the Way" was a little worse than your typical sexploitation flick with a
love story tied in, although the acting was much better than usually found.
Yes, it has the obligatory scene of the girls in the shower.  Don't bother.  3
out of 10.  Again, it is a very low budget film, and has a couple of subplots
that aren't concluded.  I think this one also ran out of money and didn't want
to go overbudget. [Racket thrown at wall--all three of us noticed that it was
broken before it hit!]

The film that these were on was damaged to a greater degree than the typical
twenty year old prints that school districts have.  Seriously.  We griped to
the manager and he said that we shouldn't complained because it was  a bigger
problem for their equipment than it was for us poor shmucks who paid to see it.


In conclusion, these films were more insulting than the commercials that this
theater has been playing.
