More known for its title and containing the main three 80's B-movie "Scream Queens" in its cast than for actually being good, Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama not only sports the type of title you rarely see these days but it's also an enjoyably campy and stupid romp that's filled with all the cheap nudity, low-brow humour, and dopiness you'd expect - making it an entertaining way to fill 79 minutes of your evening if you appreciate this type of thing.

The story is as thin as you'd expect as three geeky frat boys decide to end their boring evening by heading over to the local sorority house in order to spy on the initiations that are going on there (and have a lot to do with wooden paddle spanking and whipping cream). When they're caught spying on the pledges while they shower off the desert topping from their quite naked bodies they're forced to head over to the local mall's bowling alley (along with the girls they'd been drooling over) in order to break-in and steal a trophy.

They easily get into the bowling alley when it turns out a punker girl called "Spider" (played by the always welcome Linnea Quigley) has already broken in. From there they pick the biggest trophy they can find and proceed to break it open on the floor. It was bad enough they broke a cheap looking bowling trophy, but it's even worse then it just so happens to contain a magical Imp (actually a really bad hand puppet voiced by Dukey Flyswatter, leader of horror metal band "The Haunted Garage" who were a second rate version of Gwar) who proceeds to grant them wishes that have malicious side-effects, trap them in the mall, and generally cause havoc even turning the sorority girls watching on security cameras into killers who resemble a monster with bad skin and the Bride Of Frankenstein.

As a decade, the 80's holds many guilty pleasures for me, and I'm happy to say that Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama is one of them. You're honestly not going to watch this movie for anything but cheap titillation and cheaper laughs and in that respect it delivers. Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer (billed here as "Michelle McLennan") get naked for us, Quigley is sarcastically funny (even if she keeps her clothes on the entire movie), and it looks like everyone is having fun. Hell, there's even a death by bowling ball polisher!

Director David DeCoteau has made a lot of movies in his day (lately cranking out "gay friendly" flicks with his Rapid Heart Pictures company), but this is one of his more entertaining ones. Made under the "Urban Classics" label by producer Charles Band between folding his Empire Pictures and creating Full Moon Entertainment, this is just one of a handful of enjoyable films from the short lived company with titles that include Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity, Assault Of The Killer Bimbos, and Creepozoids (another DeCoteau film that's worth checking out for outright silly entertainment).

Micro-budget director Todd Sheets would make an in-name only sequel with 1991's Sorority Babes In The Dance-A-Thon Of Death. (Chris Hartley, 11/15/05)
