Let me make this review short and sweet about Private School...

If your expecting something intelligent, educational or just a movie with a good script...WELL THIS IS NOT THE MOVIE FOR YOU!!

But if you dont care about that and just want some mindless entertainment...then Private School is what you've been looking for!!

Its got lots of laughs, stupidity, and guys trying to lucky with the ladies throughout the whole film!

...and did i mention the nudity?? Well there is plently of that too!! Ok, its not major but its everything you'd expect from an R-Rated movie from the 80's!!

So take it from me and ingore the bad reviews about this film, it is what it is...its not trying to be a great film, its just basically a simple and funny "80's-teenage-T&A-High School" film!!

Enjoy!!

Stupid Fun Fact: This Movie was actually called "Private School For Girls!" for all these years till it came out on Dvd and they dropped the For Girls...whatever!

This movie took to long to arrive. It was almost 10 days past scheduled arrival date. But the movie is great!

This is a silly story really. Outrageous, improbable events. But still enjoyable. I last saw this film over 10 years ago and I can still recall it as if it were yesterday. Shockingly, Phoebe Cates is great in this! Silly storyline and situations, but entertaining.

This movie has a young and nubile Phoebe Cates in it... Nuff said! Automatic 5 Stars!!!

If you're looking for gratuitous T&A, this is one of the best of all time. Betsy Russell in this movie might quite possibly be the most stunning performance by any actress ever. Her bareback horseriding scene, the seduction scene, and the stained clothes so I better take them off and let them soak scene are all nothing short of awe inspiring. Add that to a bunch or other bombshell schoolgirls walking around naked (the shower scene is just... wow), plus the fact you've got Phoebe Cates staring and I don't know what more you could ask for in this type of movie. Plotwise it's also pretty amusing with many laugh out load moments (although it's hard to stay focused on that with what you're looking at).

I really wanted to find something good to say about this movie because my favorite girl is in it. So here it is: the only bright spots in this miserable film are Betsy Russel and Phoebe Cates. Betsy is a beautiful woman with a most impressive rack. Her horseback scene is nothing short of awe-inspiring. And Phoebe is, as always, angelic. She may not have Betsy's impressive dimensions, but the elegance of her form is without rival. And who can resist her smile? Unfortunately, she remains entirely too clothed--we only see a few seconds of her backside late in the film. I found much of this movie painful to watch. The males are an embarrassment, and the female authority figures don't fare much better. I primarily blame the director for confusing vulgarity with humor, and for failing to rein in the men's performances. Without their hammy and [dumb] antics, this could have been a standard teen sex farce instead of the piece of [junk] that it is. As actors, Phoebe Cates and Ray Walston are too good to be in this train wreck. One can only wonder what they were thinking.

This movie is no great contribution to the medium of acting, but Betsy Russell makes it worth seeing, mind you, in its uncut format. Especially provocative is the scene in which her character, Jordan, tries in her bedroom to seduce Jim, Matthew Modine's character. It's an eye-popping, tongue-swallowing display, and perhaps the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

I'm giving this movie 3 stars, purely for Betsy Russel, not that Phoebe Cates doesn't deserve some hottie points too. But man, I remember watching this as a kid on USA, and even late at night on CBS, falling in love with Betsy Russel and dying to see this movie unedited. I finally rented it recently and the shower scene is to die for! Not enough Betsy Russel skin but everything else was sweet! Did she come out in anything else? Anyway, watch this movie if you just want to see a stupid, hot 80's movie! This is as legendary as Cheryl Smith's Cinderella, which I have yet to see again since I was a kid watching it on scrambled Cinemax.

I saw this on USA Up All Night first. It's a corny 80's high school movie. What USA Network edited out is on this tape and it is super! The shower scene in this movie is ten times better than the one in Porky's. A lot of pointless nudity.

Wonderful combination of every 80's teen movie cliche' that you can jam into one film. The beauty of Phoebe Cates and especially Betsy Russell were stamped into my brain from the moment I first saw this flick as a hormonally excitable lad of fourteen. I suggest you get in the time machine and enjoy an evening of leg warmers, pre-breast augmentation actresses, and fun. They don't make em' like this anymore.
Betsy Russell...where are you?
