Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

TBoldOne First of all, why am I giving this movie a ten? It reminds me of a totally different era. It is weirdly innocent. There is no nastiness in this movie. Even the bad guys in this movie aren't really that bad.Second, this movie is a time capsule to a more innocent time. Imagine releasing this movie today? It couldn't happen. There just weren't many places to see beautiful naked women on the silver screen, unless you wanted to go to a seedy part of town and visit an adult movie theater. The T&A genre just doesn't exist anymore. In 1979 there was a pent-up demand for this kind of entertainment. Now you can see more T&A on the internet before breakfast than was filmed in this movie. Imagine pitching this script today. "We'll film a zany movie with a bunch of beautiful half-naked women. Teenage boys will come see it for the girls, and we'll put in a few jokes so girls might want to go too." A producer would say "Why would I make a movie with a lot of scenes with naked women? Where is the demand for this product?" The question make no sense today and illustrates how much things have changed since 1979.Third, this movie, for all the naked girls it, HOTS has a lot of feminist undertones. The women in this movie are strong, and fight to get what they want. The men who try to exploit them are the ones who get embarrassed. Fourth the women in this movie look "natural." The female stars don't have that nasty silicone look that you see post - 1980. The girls that are "gifted" with ample pulchritude in this movie look real. The stars are not ridiculously hot, i.e. like Angelina Jolie. You could visualize these girls on your college campus in 1979 (if your campus is USC or UCLA I guess, not the engineering school I went to, but I digress)One of the complaints I have about Hollywood today is that actresses just don't look like normal people anymore. I'm sure this is a function of the internet weeding out everyone but the super-gorgeous. The girls in HOTS look like they are attainable, which adds to the innocent charm of the movie.Finally, the football game at the end of the movie! As a teenager I said to myself, "If I'm reincarnated I want to be the cameraman who filmed the huddles in the HOTS movie!" What incredible creativity! I smile every time I think of that scene :)Summing Up : A mindless romp to a more innocent time.If you watch it with teenagers today be prepared to explain how and why this genre existed. Today's kid will wonder why this movie was made.

Scarecrow-88 Look, it's simple. I knew what I was seeking after when I decided on renting H.O.T.S. and got exactly what I hoped for. I can't imagine what a person would hope to get out of the movie besides what the cover and synopsis spell out quite loudly.The mistreated and downtrodden college girls at FU University(..ha ha), picked on by the rich gals at the local sorority, decide to form their own little club, repairing a bedraggled and unkempt house, naming themselves H.O.T.S.(each letter named after the founding girls' last names). This is where the two dueling sisterhoods battle for supremacy over the university jocks, initiating pranks and other humiliating methods against each other. The final showdown will be a striptease tag football game where once and for all the ultimate winner will be determined.You get plenty of the usual familiar traits which accompany these kind of sex comedies, including plentiful nudity, tons of (less than subtle)sexual innuendo, sophomoric humor, the wet T-shirt contest, a cat fight, animal mascots, shenanigans involving the faculty, among other things. I've read that H.O.T.S. basically follows(..or is inspired by)National Lampoon's Animal House, but it's more in line with something like The Cheerleaders, basically young adults living it up like there's no tomorrow, all smiles as beautiful boys and girls hook up, engaging in lasciviousness and immorality. Those at HOTS will do whatever it takes to make the grade and embarrass their rivals by any means possible.You have bumbling mafioso escape convicts attempting to recover their loot inside the attic of the HOTS' house, antics involving a hot air balloon, a kidnapped mascot bear who goes free invading the sorority's headquarters, a "pleasantly plump" member of HOTS and her nerdy boyfriend, and Danny Bonaduce. You'd think Bonaduce would just have a glorified cameo, but his role is actually more extensive..he has his own band, is often the butt of a number of cruel(..but hilarious)jokes(..including a special smackerooni at a kissing booth, and a practical sex joke involving the HOTS' mascot seal) and there's some poking fun at his member.Perfectly grating soundtrack and numerous Playboy bunnies, their breasts exposed for our viewing pleasure. Striking similarities to Revenge of the Nerds in some respects.

maniacal_movie_man Of course, going into it, one would expect it to be a typical, stupid T&A flick, and it is. But it really does have some fairly well thought out humorous moments. Given the era in which it was made, and the obvious exploitation aspect, it is still one of the better B comedies of the time.While watching this movie, you will see quite obviously the inspiration for many of the scenes in "Revenge of The Nerds", and numerous other films of the same genre. Most of the acting is horrible, and WAY over the top, but that's exactly what I expect in a movie like this. What it lacks in the way of acting ability, it more than makes up for with its camp value and complete disregard for anything of merit.The amazing thing about this movie, is that there was obviously some money that went into it. Films like this made today just don't have the same style. If you can turn your brain off, and turn your sense of humor up for an hour and a half, you will enjoy this flick. I dare anyone to not find at least SOMETHING in this movie that they think is funny, if not hilarious.

David Grills If you watched this film for the nudity (as I did) you won't be disappointed. I could have done without the bumbling crooks or the bear though. Some bottomless nudity could have be shown but for what it was I think H.O.T.S. has to be the best of its genre.It is not the sort of film that could have been made today which is a pity because it is the sort of film that is worth watching in these times.I would take mindless nudity over pivotal plot points any day.It is a shame that the DVD doesn't have any extras but as they didn't have DVDs when this was filmed that is understandable. I would have like to know more about the shooting of the film especially where they shot the football match at the end.
