Take Animal House, throw in a dose of television's Bosom Buddies and you get the Phoebe Cates/Matthew Modine sex farce Private School. The 1983 film was shot one year after Cates won fame in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (thanks primarily to her little red bikini), and two years before Modine won rave reviews for his work in Vision Quest. While neither star gives a stellar performance in Private School, both are appealing and likeable, even with the ridiculous premise. Chris (Cates) attends an all-girls private school, while horndog Jim (Modine) matriculates at the nearby all-boys school. In order to get close to her, Jim and his friend dress up like girls and befriend Chris and her hot posse. When Chris' sexy rival Jordan (Betsy Russell) tries to woo Jim away by riding a horse, Lady Godiva style, the stage is set for a catfight. Throw in a guest appearance by Sylvia Kristel of Emmanuelle fame and double entendres abound. The soundtrack is full of songs by '80s staples such as Rick Springfield, Vanity Six, and Bow Wow Wow, whose "I Want Candy" is played throughout a peeping shower scene. Though cheesy and intended for teenage boys, the film has an almost innocent charm compared to some of the current fare in theaters. --Jae-Ha Kim

5 out of 5 stars Private School Rocks!   November 7, 2008
Taheen Lopez (United States- San Diego, CA)
If you liked the movie "Fast Times At Ridgemont High", you shall definetley like this movie too, especially since this movie is a little similar to "Fast Times", plus "Private School" has quite a few of the same co-stars that were in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" too, like Phoebe Cates and Raymond Walston for instance, except "Private School" is even dirtier with more nudity than "Fast Times" was, since "Private School" also contains a sexy nude scene with Phoebe Cates(Chris) and Matt Modine doing hubba hubba on the beach and a girls lockerroom shower scene with full frontal nudity with alot of T&A in it and a scene where Betsy Russell's tatas bounce up and down out in the field after Betsy Russell(Jordan) tries to bait Matt Modine(Jim), which by the way was quite hilarious.

The Ordering of the product was easy, and fast. The shipping of the product was timely. The movie arrived in good condition. The actual feature on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 4. It is basically a movie where Persons in there teens and twenties can see naked people. I found very little plot or story in this movie. It does hold some Comedy value making it some what entertaing.

If you're a fan of 80s teen comedies you'll really enjoy this. It's not a well know film over this part of the work (UK and Ireland), in fact it doens't even have a DVD release over here. Heard about it in a book on 80s teen movies and thought it sounded good fun. Betsy Russell is the stand out in this. When describing her, the words "Hot Damn" come to mind a lot!
