**_Vacuous frat boy shenanigans with amusing ghosts and lots of T&A_** A sex-obsessed college guy (Tom Nolan) suddenly has the ability to be an invisible spirit and so takes advantage of it on a SoCal campus, particularly pursuing a couple of romantic interests (Elizabeth Foxx and Danièle Arnaud). "School Spirit" (1985) is a goofy campus comedy that obviously influenced “Ghost,” but don’t expect the greatness of that film. It starts off creatively enough, yet the story never really takes advantage of that promise, preferring to bog down in shallow antics, T&A and hedonism. There’s a reason "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" is a renowned 80’s coming-of-age flick while this one ended up in the bin of obscurity. It’s called good writing, which is sure to include entertaining bits relevant to the genre, but shuns cheap exploitation. On a side note, Marta Kober, who played petite Sandra in “Friday the 13th Part 2,” has a pretty big side role as the daughter of the university president (Larry Linville). It runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot at a campus in Brentwood, Los Angeles. GRADE: D+/C-

A Bit of a Disappointment

This film essentially begins with a college student named "Billy Batson" (Tom Nolan) desperately trying to seduce a beautiful coed student by the name of "Judith Hightower" (Elizabeth Foxx). However, just when he almost achieves his goal, he discovers that he has no protection. So, since Judith refuses to go any further without it, he hurries to procure some. Unfortunately, along the way he has a fatal car accident which, as one might expect, ruins his plans. But then, as luck would have it, just at the moment his soul leaves his body, he is met by his uncle "Pinky Batson" (John Finnegan) who was sent from heaven to guide him into the proverbial light. It's then revealed that, much like his nephew, Uncle Pinky gets easily distracted by members of the opposite sex which results in him running after an attractive woman instead of taking care of the business at hand. However, just prior to that, he shows Billy how to become visible again. So, armed with this knowledge, Billy then goes back to college to use this new ability to further enhance his sexual appetite. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film had most of the necessary ingredients for a good teensploitation comedy. What it didn't have, unfortunately, was any humor. To that effect, despite all of the attractive ladies--and there were plenty of them in this film- none of them were able to rescue this dismal picture from its rather boring state. That being said, although I don't consider this to be a bad movie necessarily, I must say that I was a bit disappointed with it overall and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
