SQUEEZE PLAY may be the best ladies softball film ever made.
And it holds the distinct honor of being the only movie where a softball gets
batted into a guy's ass. I think it also has the distinct honor of being the
only movie where all the main characters work at a mattress plant. There's barely a plot, it's strung together
with various low jinks and Lloyd Kaufman never misses an opportunity to ogle
some tit.
Samantha hates
softball because it keeps her fiancé Wes from spending time with her. After
making him promise to give up softball, Wes reneges so Samantha, just to be
bitchy, comes up with the idea that he should put a woman on the team. Mary
Lou, a Georgia Peach with the worst southern accent ever, is on the run from
her father (because he thinks she's a lesbian, I'm not really sure) and just
happens to be a world-class pitcher. After Mary Lou's disastrous try-out, the
girls at the mattress plant start their own team, challenging the men to a
battle of the sexes in the climatic game. They also have to enter the wet T-shirt contest as a
climatic game warmup.
Horrible jokes and sight gags come fast and furious; the
more they miss, the more fun the movie becomes. You can't help but love a film
that ends a scene with some extra off screen yelling, "fuck". Look for Irwin Keyes as a bouncer. - EH
