Director David DeCoteau is made for USA Up All Night. In this movie, he's showing us all about Amy (Elizabeth Kaitan, Vice Academy 5, Silent Madness), a high school girl who feels like she isn't as pretty as the other girls. Only in an 80s teen sex comedy could Elizabeth Kaitan be the not attractive girl. She gets Teri (Linnea Quigley) and Karen Russell (Vice Academy) to make her over and yes, when you have to compare the relative attractiveness of these women, you regress to being a teenage boy and are overcome by just how brain wrecking each is, but let's be honest, Linnea Quigley forever.
At the same time, her boyfriend Scott (Steven Craig Daugherty) is failing school so he needs to study hard for a test, so hard that his father (Burt Ward) thinks that his son is gay because he spends so much time with his friend Hubie (Marcus Vaughter). That's kind of amazing that this movie has so many homophobic moments seeing that DeCoteau was directing it. Then again, it's all in fun, I guess.
Maybe not. The name he used on this movie was Ellen Cabot, which he told Draculina was the name of a girlfriend he had a bad breakup with in high school. Whenever he made a bad movie, he used her name. However, he has changed this story to say that it was a pseudonym to cover up his homosexuality.
The cast is fun with Lyle Waggoner as the coach, Kitten Natividad as a Spanish teacher and Deanna Lund as Amy's mom. Yes, the mom from Elves. I will never not mention that movie.
For some reason, this movie has a lot of heart. I wish there were more movies where the stars of Murder Weapon did makeovers for shy high school girls who really love their boyfriends. It seems like it should be a total teen sex comedy but it ends up being so sweet.
