Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2

Not COMPLETELY horrible... boy, that's a ringing endorsement, ain't it? I don't think I ever saw the original, so I don't have anything with which to compare this, so I am reviewing it on it's own merits.

This feels like an 80's movie condensed down to a hour long TV movie. Speaking of the 80's... everything here is in that style - the colors, the clothes, the sets... everything, even the size of the cameras the boys use to surveil the girls - except that they use a modern tablet to access the cameras. :shrug:

The acting is about what you'd expect from a daytime soap opera, but at least it isn't terrible. The plot is (from what I read) the exact same as the original, but it does feel rushed. There's some gratuitous t.and.a and the stereotypical "sorority girl on girl shower scene." There's a bit of humour, especially the imp.

All in all, if you have an hour or so to kill, and you are looking for a movie you can zone out and just watch - no brain cells required... you might enjoy this.

This didn't do it for me, and I'm totally bummed out about having to say that. I'm a big fan of the original, love the cast and Uncle Impy. I wanted to enjoy this. I'm cool with low budget/low effort movies if they do something fun. I didn't like any of the characters except the imp. Should have spent more on hair, makeup, wardrobe, and script re-writes.

The characters lacked passion, especially the women. They were all just reading lines off of cards.

I'm bummed out that more effort wasn't put into helping Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens look pretty. I met Michelle and making her look sexy, and in character, would have required very little effort.

Also, the nudity felt gratuitous. Granted it was gratuitous in the original, but there was story motivation and dialog during it. In this it was just kinda there and not all that sexy.

Like I said. This one just didn't do it for me. Even when movies are so bad they're funny, the filmmakers are trying their best to make the best movie they could.

"Sorority Babes 2" was entertaining, deliciously directed by cult icon: Brinke Stevens and stayed within a vibe of 80s VHS Exploitation and paid cable "Sinema", the "Auntie" character's presence and dialogue kept both films together (along with the late 80s "Freestyle" inspired soundtrack).

Many are expecting to many "highs", forget what genre roots this had, for VHS home entertainment where many White teens and college aged males were the biggest consumer.

Its exploitative, considered "low" art and defined the end of the 80s, during the beginning of "Cultural Wars": conservative politics with the funding of the arts.

Congrats on Steven's directorial approach in redoing 80s "scream queen" celluloid camp "ala Band" productions.

I am a sucker for trashy cinema so I have found myself watching more Kent Roudebush films that I should. I don't know why anyone keeps letting him write. Kent ruined the Evil Bong series and now Kent is ruining Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama.

I did not laugh once. The film is a mere 1 hour long but they still managed to jam about 10 minutes of the first film into it. The dialogue is horrible, and the pacing is intentionally slow to fill the gaps because the screenwriter didn't provide enough of a story, neither visually nor in dialogue.

Skip this and skip Kent Roudebush from now on.

Another cheapo Full moon feature made as a sequel to one of their earlier rights-controlled titles. This is less a sequel and more a remake of the original, except made on a tiny digital budget and with a running time of just over an hour. The first forty minutes ramp up the nudity through pointless shower and titillation sequences, while the last twenty-five minutes recap some cheap kills at the bowling alley. Brinke Stevens (who also directs) and Michelle Bauer come back for minor cameos, but the new cast members invariably disappoint and this lacks the campy charm of the first film, feeling instead like a cheap cash grab.
