I stumbled upon the 1978 comedy "Sweater Girls" here in 2021 by random chance. I have to say that I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to finding it. But I read the synopsis and it sounded like it could actually be a fair enough comedy.
Well, I am sure that what writers Don Jones and Neva Friedenn managed to put together back in 1978 was fairly interesting back then, but it wasn't a movie that particularly impressed me.
Sure, the concept of the movie was interesting enough, but as the movie came to an end, I must admit that I was sitting with a feeling of what was the point of the movie and the club that the girls founded anyway, as they essentially broke the principle rule of the purpose of the club to begin with.
For a comedy then I suppose "Sweater Girls" might have been fun and enjoyable back in 1978, but it seems to have lost some of the flavor with the passing of 43 years. Sure, it was watchable, but I wasn't brought to laughing even once throughout the course of the movie.
The acting performances in "Sweater Girls" were adequate. I wasn't familiar with the people on the cast list, which is usually something I enjoy in movies. But given the whole no-purpose-to-the-storyline then I feel somewhat indifferent towards the acting performances.
I can now check "Sweater Girls" off of my list, and I can honestly say that I hadn't been missing out on anything grand here. And this is not a movie that I will ever be returning to watch a second time.
My rating of "Sweater Girls" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
