| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY] Although critically scorned and criminally overlooked, co-writer/director Tom Desimone's punk rock-inspired indie sexploitation flick has it all. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasProud to be junk food, but it still tackles the serious subjects of illiteracy, teen-age pregnancy and young adult alcoholism. [22 July 1987] |
| VarietyPat GrahamThey must've been working overtime on the Xerox machines at New World Pictures, since this 1986 women-behind-bars exploitation spoof sounds like a literal remake of 1983's Chained Heat (which was itself a remake of a remake of a remake). |
| USA TodayJack CurryHere are some of Summer School's favorite things: idiocy, illiteracy, irresponsibility, drunkenness, dumbness and debauchery. Piqued? [24 July 1987] |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrThe performers never find the right spin on the dialogue, and DeSimone never finds the right rhythm in his pacing, to make these deliberate cliches take off into comedy. A stodgy literalness in DeSimone`s approach suffocates the joke. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA comedy so listless, leisurely and unspirited that it was an act of the will for me to care about it, even while I was watching it. |
| Los Angeles TimesPatrick GoldsteinDon’t let the cartoonlike ads for Reform School Girls fool you. The movie has been billed as an outlandish sendup of the women-behind-bars genre, but that’s just wishful thinking--or part of the movie’s cynical hype. “Girls” is far too feeble to qualify as a raunchy prison parody. It’s more of a brainless homage, in the clunky way that “Rambo” and “Missing in Action” paid tribute to “The Green Berets.” |
| The New York TimesNina DarntonThe publicity release describes it as ''an outlandish action parody.'' But for those among us who don't get a kick out of seeing young girls branded with hot metal, beaten by rubber hoses, terrified, brutalized and driven to suicide, the movie isn't exactly a thousand laughs. |
| User ReviewElijah DI told Sybil Danning that I saw this movie at such a young age and I'm reasonably certain that the experience perverted me for life. She was not sure what to make of my comment, but I guess she was flattered. |
| User ReviewJeffrey MA great B-movie with alot of class. A girl goes to reform school being runned by a sadistic and brutal woman. The girls later fight back. A great film with an awesome cast. The scenes in this movie will keep you on edge. Linda Carol, Sybil Danning, and the late Wendy O. Williams of the punk band, The Plasmatics, |
