The Movie:
Also known as Smartie Pants, this tenth entry in the seemingly endless parade of Schoolgirl Report films is once again directed by Walter Boos. As is the norm with the series, we start off with a framing device that allows the movie to segue into the different stories that make up the running time. This time around, we're sitting in on a classroom full of high school girls (all of whom look older than they're supposed to be) as they discuss morality and politics as they apply to human sexuality. This, of course, leads to confessions of sorts and we see just what exactly a few of these naughty lasses have been up to in their spare time…
The first story begins when a male high school teacher is brought into the administration office and accused of molesting a student named Susanne (Bí¤rbel Markus - she looks a bit like Carole King, which is kind of weird) after plying her with rum during a private tutoring session at his house. First we hear Susanne's side of the story, in which he molests her, then we hear his side of the story where he comes into the room and she's nude and trying to seduce him. The truth comes out from a third party, a boy who has been crushing on frisky Susanne and trying to bang her. Thankfully his voyeuristic ways will see that justice prevails!
The second story follows foxy blonde Inga (Marianne Dupont), a shy girl who clams up when it comes to the subject of carnality. When she's behind closed doors though? She's really into diddling herself, or at least tugging at her pubes and writhing about nude in the bed. As she becomes more in tune with her own needs, she gets picked up by a guy at a bar who takes her back to his place. There he has his way with her and invites a few of his pals in. They fondle her and then leave. As she wanders away, it seems he lives in a massive palatial estate, but his interior decorating skills make his pad look more like a flophouse. Weird.
Moving right along, we see the sordid details of an encounter that occurs when a boy is dared to make a move on his girlfriend's stepmother. He does, and off they guy, but the girlfriend? She doesn't think this is cool at all. This floozy is cheating on dear old dad, so she grabs her Instamatic and sets about to snooping so that she can present her dad with some pictures, the kind that tell the whole story.
The highlight of the movie, and possibly the entire damn series, is the fourth vignette in which we meet a blonde and her boyfriend who desperately want to get it on but are unable to because of her family's nosey ways. After he reads a copy of Der Exorcist he decides that there's a way around this - she'll convince her parents she's possessed by running around the house, grunting, flashing her cooch and peeing on the floor, and he'll dress up as Rasputin and wait at the bar for her dad to show up. When he does, he convinces dad that he's an exorcist and that he can cleanse his daughter of the demon that possesses her. He agrees, and they lock him in the room with her where he bangs the evil right out of that girl. Lots more grunting and jumping around occurs in a story that can only be described as wacky.
In the final story, we see what happens when a darling young woman agrees to boff an older gentleman on the side, unbeknownst to his better half. Their affair is fine at first but once his cranky wife finds out, he learns that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
This is a pretty enjoyable addition to the line. The girls generally look good and you get all the softcore bumping and grinding that the series is known for in each of the five stories. There are a few familiar faces here and there (Astrib Boner pops up - ha! - and Gina Janssen and Marianne Dupont too) and the pacing is solid. The Exorcist knock off is obviously the big stand out here, it's just completely insane and pretty hilarious to watch. The actress' facial expressions are so over the top that you can't help but laugh at it all, obviously the desired effect. It's not particularly titillating but it is pretty damn funny. Throw in some of that recognizable music from Gert Wilden and this one delivers more or less exactly what you'd want from a Schoolgirl Report movie and then some.
Video/Audio/Extras:
Impulse's 1.66.1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is pretty decent even if it isn't completely pristine. There are some occasional instances of minor print damage in the form of specs and tiny scratches. None of this is particularly distracting but it is there. Color reproduction looks a bit faded but is otherwise okay while the black levels are closer to grey at times. Detail is alright for the most part though softer than most will want. This is perfectly watchable but nothing to write home about. Oddly enough, the framing on the opening credits is slightly different than the feature itself.
The German language Dolby Digital Mono track, which comes with optional English subtitles, has a little bit of background hiss here and there but you probably won't notice it unless you're specifically listening for it. Aside from that, this is a decent, well-balanced track that delivers completely audible dialogue and a nice score.
Like all of the other releases so far in this line up, the only extras are a static menu screen and chapter selection. Aside from that, this DVD is barebones.
The Final Word:
If you've enjoyed the series so far in Impulse Pictures' run, there's no reason you won't dig this one just as much. In fact, the whole exorcism angle makes this one crazier than usual, taking an already bizarre series to new heights of insanity.
