| User ReviewChantal VOne of the greatest movies ever created on earth ever of all time. |
| User ReviewPaul DI loved this movie when I first saw it. I would like to see it again but due to its rarity I am probably not going to get the chance |
| User ReviewJeffrey MI remember seeing this movie on HBO back in 1987, I liked this movie and still do. Mariska Hargitay, before her days on "Law & Order: SVU" was in this film. Donald Gibb, best know for his role as Ogre in the "Revenge of the Nerds" film series is awesome in this classic. Perry Lang, wo I liked in the 1983 comedy film "Spring Break" is cool, too. |
| User ReviewBill BThis is definitely an underrated b-movie that was seen on USA Up All Night. I love screwball comedies and this one is no exception. I love the concept of under-achieving college kids hitting the road for Las Vegas and then partying every night with booze and women, a dream come true! Oh, and that line by Donald Gibb when he crushes a tennis ball and tells his opponent "Aren't you glad that wasn't your balls?" is priceless! RT critics are snobby for hating on this movie so much when they should realize 80's b-movies are better than just about any movie playing at theaters now. To hell with overblown superhero movies, I want my 80's back! |
| User ReviewStephen Kfuck ya, don(ogre)gibb tearing it up on the .... tennis court ? lol chris lee as the evil dean must of taken notes from vernon from animal house |
| User ReviewBrian WA funny 80's sports/sex teen comedy. It's kind of funny that the tennis team is made up of guys who look too old to be high school students and should also be football players. Mariska Hargitay is damn fine, though was hoping to see more. Good amount of nudity and humour. Christopher Lee and Richard Roundtree were good in their roles. |
| User ReviewJeff B3 stars just for stoney jackson being gay. |
| User ReviewDaniel APretty lame overall, but Mariska Hargitay looks hot in it. Like a unfunny sports sex romp...about tennis! |
| User ReviewEric ROut of the primordial slime that began with "Porky's" and "Revenge of the Nerds" emerged hundreds of knock-offs riding the coat-tails of those successes. Most of these teen sex comedies, except of the afore two mentioned, are completely worthless other than some nudity. One of these hundreds of worthless knockoffs is "Jocks" but it's even worse than most of its competitors as doesn't even have the decency to offer it's intended teenage boy crowd the nudity they crave. "Jocks" is about a college tennis team (yeah, because when I think of the term "Jocks" I think of fucking tennis!) that is on the verge having their program shut down. They travel to Las Vegas for the playoffs and while trying to make up for all the hijinks they cause, try to win the playoffs and save the tennis program. "Jocks" is plain and simple NOT funny. Our main lead tries to be a loveable screw-up but he's completely uninteresting. The plot moves at a snail's pace boring the predominantly mail audience into sleep without even giving them the nudity they crave. The filmmakers even try to mimic the success of "Revenge of the Nerds" by casting actor Donald Gibb (who played ogre in "Nerds") as a similar, yet painfully unfunny character named Ripper. What's a damn shame is that this film is loaded with great actors, some to come and some towards the end of their career. We get R.G. Armstrong, Christopher Lee and Richard Roundtree in throw away roles but fans of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" might want to watch to see a very young Mariska Hargitay, who is just smokin' hot. Make this a double feature with "Ghoulies" to get your fill your young Mariska. "Jocks" sucks and it just makes me cringe to see good actors such as Lee and Armstrong wading through this sludge to claim their paychecks. Even on the most basic levels of a 80s teen sex comedy "Jocks" fails to deliver and this lame film deserves to be lost in the sea of bargain multi-film DVD sets. |
