The Rowdy Girls

Summary: Two very enthusiastic thumbs down!
Review: I wanted to enjoy this movie, but I simply could not. Take the plot (if there is one) for instance. You have three gorgeous females; Shannon Tweed, Julie Strain, and Deanna Brooks in from my impression of reading the DVD box would be a violent western in the TOMBSTONE genre mixed with hardcore erotica. If that is what you are expecting, you will be disappointed anyway. The only moments I enjoyed are the first 10 minutes or so when the first three female stars are introduced, after that it's all boredom and general bad taste. Had I been the director, I would have, (1) make those pretty boy Sheriffs the bad guys, who needs them anyway? (2) Julie is the bad girl, make her more of a rival for her followers, not for Shannon and Deanna, and (3) I stress this one...far better character development. I ardently hope these three gorgeous women will star in another film of this sort, but with a better supporting cast, and better directing crew. Makes me want to do it myself. It would have gotten a far better treatment. Do yourself a favor...DO NOT BUY IT!

Summary: A Must See For Men Who Love Big Breasts
Review: There's an unwritten rule that all movie fans know: If you see the name Shannon Tweed in a movie's credits (she also co-produced this one) the movie will be garbage. Sure, you're guaranteed there'll be scenes of gratuitous nudity, but the movie itself will stink worse than Mickey Rourke after an all night bender.
THE ROWDY GIRLS is basically Troma's attempt to make a soft porn western, as the video slick says "Careful not to shoot your load!" Clever.
The plot: A prostitute and an unhappy bride (both Playmates) liberate themselves in the Wild West 1886; but are taken captive by another liberated, big breasted woman (Playmate) and her posse. After that not a lot happens, except this awful country-western balladeer keeps popping up for no discernable reason. ROWDY GIRLS also features the daftest clmactic shootout your'e ever likely to see.
Obviously this is not one of Troma's best, but they have made far worse (like FEMME FONTAINE and DEMENTED DEATH FARM MASSACRE which I also recommend for guys who like big breasts). I just hope (again) there's no sequel in the works. Actually Shannon Tweed's acting is OK in this, which is a big surprise. Still it could have been worse. It could have starred Ron Jeremy and Divine.
