"State Park" is a better-than-average late addition to the 80's B-List sex comedy genre. I prefer slashers with a similar budget personally, but it has a decent nostalgic feel. It reminded of "Memorial Valley Massacre" without the murderous cave-boy. This was released on an extraordinarily expensive VHS under the title "Heavy Metal Summer" but is currently free on Prime, Tubi, and Freevee etc under the "State Park" title. You can save a couple hundred bucks viewing it that way. Meryl Streep's doppelganger from NOES2 falls in love with an eco-terrorist in a bear costume (he's no Uncle Ted). They team up to compete in a kayak race (for 5k) while fighting an evil developer "toxic dumper", his henchmen and his kayak race ringers. There is about a combined two minutes of nudity, including a girl who becomes sexual aroused by giving out (multiple) haircuts. Two "Heavy Metalers" (who have a cool van) create a band with the actual Ted Nugent and an elderly couple. The grandma plays a chainsaw like she is in the southern hair metal band Jackyl but I think they were going for WASP. They also participate in the race. The soundtrack blatantly rips off Yello's "ooohhhh yeahhhhh" song, but it also has songs from Nugent and The obscure hair metal band TT Quick (they had Accepts vocalist for one album in 1986) . The best dialogue is between one of the "Heavy Metallers" and his summer his love interest. It's worth a watch. For fans of Screwballs, Joysticks, Last Resort, Nightmare Sisters, School Spirit, Vice Squad, and all the sequels to Meatballs, Porkys and Revenge of the Nerds. It falls firmly into the "So Bad It's Good" territory. 6.5/10.
