The Swinging Cheerleaders (1974)

Like The Dreamers, this is primarily about getting pretty people to shed their clothes; the difference is this film is content to be just that. Oh, there's a story to tell -- in fact, the plot here is atypically well-rendered and involving. But the filmmakers couldn't be taking it less seriously. They understand that they're simply here to give the audience an unpretentious good time, and that's what they deliver. So it's not art. It is, however, pretty good trash, which is just as difficult to deliver.

Grade: B-
