Squeeze Play

Squeeze play is a slightly disappointing effort from, what was then an early TROMA team (It was their first financial success! Anyone who's seen one of there films will understand why)

It's about a group of guys who play softball, and after a while their girlfriends get sick of it, so they make an all girl softball team, and the challenge begins.

Obviously this movie sounds a bit tired, but the scene where the guy catches the ball with his butt is hysterical, and the surprise ending when the girls aren't even annoyed seems a bit unrealistic, but who cares? This is movie is supposed to be fun, and generally it is.

I seen this as a kid and I love it as an adult.

It's funny, somewhat predictable and ranchy when it needs to be. If you want a laugh and want to see a laughable video. Have a few beers and enjoy the laughs. It's worth watching. And yes they do over act a little. But it's all good.

This is what you'd expect. It's a 1970's campy sexy comedy about a women's softball team that challenges a men's softball team to a battle of the sexes game. It's supposed to be empowering but obviously it's really just about all the T and A they can cram in. The women obviously decide to use their T and A to distract the other team etc. Like I said it's exactly what you think it will be. There's not tons of T and A but there's also not really much of a story other than the basics you expect to see.

I saw this movie a while ago with a group of friends at a party, and it was pretty funny then. It's light, mindless entertainment that complements some of the heavier, violent stuff that Troma produces. The soundtrack's awesome, and the story isn't something you see a lot of these days in sports comedies. The movie does a great job of including some feminist sentiments without preaching to its audience...there are still plenty of sweat-soaked t-shirts.

If you like Troma films, or like late-night 80s/sports comedy, this is a great choice. It's on Troma Comcast On-Demand this month--I'm thinking about watching it again!

Okay, let me be blunt: about two thirds of this movie just flat out sucks, and many of the ideas in it are done to death. But the things that are funny are work like a charm. It's one of the very few 80s sex comedies that actually snuck a joke or two in that weren't about gay people to go alone with the pale, not very attractive TA. The feminism seems, looking at what Troma did after this, kind of like lip service, but it's still better than most competition.

The plot is a bunch of softball players generally irritate their significant others, and they form a female softball team.

And the music is great.
