Campus Cuties Review This feature was directed by Paul G. Vatelli and released by Caballero Control Corporation in 1985. Nikki Charm plays a girl who goes off to college to expand her horizons, leaving behind her farmboy boyfriend, played by Kevin James. There is no real plot to this movie. Three guys (played by Tom Byron, Rick Savage, and Shone Taylor) videotape various sexual escapes, but to no consequence. Nikki Charm has sex with the dean (played by Jesse Eastern) for no apparent reason since she is excelling in her classes. Her farmboy boyfriend writes a letter saying he has begun to see someone else, so she has lesbian sex with Summer Rose's character. Everything seemed to lack real motivation. Story Grade: D-. This movie was shot on video with a few inserts of film that were presumably stock footage. Medium Grade: C. The outdoor scenes were the most authentic, from the farm life Nikki has at the onset of the movie to the campus scenes with the fountain. As much as the student social event posters tried to make it feel like an actual campus atmosphere, it didn't quite work. Two dorm rooms appeared to be the exact same room with different set dressing. The dean's office was labeled as the principal's office. The one classroom had posters of the periodic table, star charts, and a U.S. map, but was hosting an English class. Bonus points are given, however, for including placement of a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket, Budweiser and Coca Cola cans, and a Rob Lowe St. Elmo's Fire poster. Plus, the Bozo The Clown poster was awesome. Set Design Grade: C+. There didn't seem to be anything spectacular in the sexual performances. The scene with Mauvais Noir and Buck Adams seemed to be the most energetic. No condoms were used in this production (Condom use has no bearing on the grade.) Sex Performances Grade: C+. Nikki Charm did a fine acting job in what limited story there was. One got the sense that she missed her boyfriend and was disappointed to her of him moving on. She also portrayed discomfort fairly well in the orgy scene. However, her scene with the dean was bizarre given the lack of motivation and she ended up breaking the fourth wall at the end of the movie. What little screen time Taija Rae had she put to good use. The rest of the acting was rather average. Acting Grade: C+. The girls' make-up was perhaps a little overdone, but wardrobe seemed appropriate given it was the 1980's. Girls wore shoes in three of the scenes in which they didn't seem to be warranted. Wardrobe Grade: B-. Lighting was pretty good . It didn't appear to be used in any stylistic fashion. Lighting Grade: B. The sound was exceptionally poor. An echo effect pervaded the dialogue track throughout the entire movie. It may have been used effectively if only during those scenes in which Nikki's character narrated her diary. However, it became an annoyance rather quickly. Sound Grade: D-. The budget on this production was probably exceptionally low, however, shots were centered and camera angles were appropriate. While entering snippets of film in between scenes may have been used to make the college location look more realistic, it made the rest of the movie look cheaper in comparison. Directing Grade: C-. The premise of the movie was promising, but it's execution was lackluster. Some effort was made, but there could have been a lot more. Artistic Merit Grade: C. OVERALL GRADE: C.  |

Bummer. The image of the Bozo poster I posted was taken down. I guess you'll just have to check out the movie to see it.
