I've Got The Fever

Back in 1982, my 12 year old self was sneaking into every R rated film I could. Anything that offered the promise of a topless starlet was right up my alley. So imagine my disapointment when I saw the heavily misadvertised Spring Fever. Sure, it was rated PG, but in 1982, PG was different. Some PG films would be considered R today.

The commercials made it look like it would make a great double bill with Spring Break. And look at that poster. You would think that you were about to watch a movie about crazy coeds having fun in the sun. Instead, you get an after school special about two teenage girls from different sides of the tracks who bond during a tennis competition. It's just as boring as it sounds.
