Chaotic film that, because of its bright use of color and cartoonish slapstick humor, most closely resembles a moving comic book. Very flat and bland at times, but certainly enjoyable because of the 80's atmosphere and straight to the point approach: there isn't too much beating around the bush (as in today's vulgar comedies) with things like character development or a coherent story. There is some kind of guideline, but it is a very questionable one: some guys try to turn the last innocent girl on T&A-high (including the female teaching staff) into a slut and if she doesn't want to, she will be forced. Which actually happens during the rousing climax, when the clothes are ripped off her while singing 'Star Spangeld Banner'. God bless America!

Oh why not, the 4th time already! Simple and light entertainment with several naked tits, as I said before: what you see is what you get with this movie. Straight to the point! 
But a 3.5 might be on the high side again, so I'll put it back half a star (who knows, in a few years with a revision, it will be back to 3.5. This film continues to fluctuate for me)

According to wiki and Imdb, this comedy is set in 1965/ the 1960s. But it looks more like the 1950s to me. With that rockabilly on the soundtrack (was already passé in the sixties) and the frequent demonstration of the hula hoop (also a symbol of the fifties).
Furthermore, an unpretentious teen comedy following on from Porky's and others. Although I do find a portion of slapstick here. For example, accelerated images are used a few times, such as in silent comedy and during the strip bowling - also a slapstick farce - there is a poster of Charlie Chaplin in the background 'coincidentally'. It's certainly not high quality, but it's entertaining enough.
