        Archie meets Cheech n Chong

        I've seen this movie too. If you know who the Archies are then you might enjoy this spoof. At least you will finally see Archie get laid. This is a good movie to sit back and relax with your buds and down a few 6 packs.

        funny teenager flick

        funny, fancy talking, a lot of hair and a background microphone appearing on the screen!

        what do you need more? fortunately the movie had a good ending.

        not bad at all for lovers of this genre.

        I'm not the only one!

        I rented this movie in high school because it looked a sure bet to show some tits. It did, but it was also funny as hell. I figured I was the only person in the world who had seen it and remembered it. Thank god, I don't feel quite as pathetic.

        i admit it i've seen this movie and i'm probably the only one!! the only reason i rented it was cause the box was 8 times bigger than any other box!!!! this is the kinda of movie you only rent on a dare!

        Unfunny adult version of the Archie comics

        Assumed this was more so of a raunchy sex comedy similar to Porky's, however it is far more gratuitous with its explicit scenes and is closer to a soft core film than a teen sex feature film. More skin shown than expected, as it starts from the start.

        As a plot, it is very simply and silly. About Archie being overly eager and desperate in trying to score, where we see him go from one unfunny scene to another. What people nay have found funny or comedic back then has certainly changed in today's day and age. Nothing was generally funny, more so juvenile and severely forced.

        Several instances, we see Archie manage to be involved in situations such as hiding in the cheerleaders' locker room after a basketball game, where were see the women undress then have their showers, ending up on a set of an adult film (with Ronnie), to even going on the rooftop to spy on his sister in the bathroom. Then somehow in the end at New Years Time Square, he lucks out and gets with another woman where she offers to take him to her house. Bizarre ending with him passing out in the elevator.

        Overall the film is relatively short enough but it's clear the skin scenes are thrown in to distract us from the fact the film isn't very good. It's a parody but without any laughs.

        • Trivia
          Even though the movie's tagline says that its like the American Graffiti (1973) but with sex, the movie is actually a loose erotic spoof of Archie comics and even features characters with similar names and looks.
        • Alternate versions
          The UK VHS released by Mountain Video in 1980 includes a brief hardcore scene at the end of the film. This is not found in most other versions
