Mary (Rene Bond) is the most beautiful and pure girl. Freddie has always had a thing about Mary and he thinks he might have a chance when he overhears a conversation about Spanish Fly.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHIGH SCHOOL FANTASIES comes from director James Bryan and for the most part itu0026#39;s a date rape version of American GRAFFITI. If youu0026#39;re familiar with the director then you probably remember him from his slasher film DONu0026#39;T GO THE WOODS but earlier in his career he started off with softcore pictures before moving into pornographic material, which is what this here is. Itu0026#39;s certainly not a classic film but thereu0026#39;s enough here for you to enjoy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think the best thing about the picture is the actual spoof of the 1950s lifestyle. There are some pretty funny moments dealing with the nerds, the popular guys, the slutty teacher and of course the rebels. If youu0026#39;ve seen American GRAFFITI then thereu0026#39;s no way you can deny that this film is basically trying to be that but only with more sex. The sex scenes are actually the weakest thing about the picture as none of them are overly entertaining in any way, shape or form.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother thing that stands out is that some of the erau0026#39;s biggest rock and roll songs are u0026quot;re-imaginedu0026quot; here with alternate lyrics. You can tell what songs are being ripped off yet the lyrics are changed every-so-slightly and itu0026#39;s rather strange to say the least. Obviously, fans of Bond will want to check this out as sheu0026#39;s as cute and charming as always but she stays clear of the hardcore here.”
