Hilarious early effort by Troma's Lloyd Kaufman about a women softball team, and a first wet t-shirt contest ever on screen!

Troma, the little independent studio that could, made a name for themselves with low-budget, dumber than dirt horror films. But they got their start in the late 1970's and early 80's with low-budget, dumber than dirt sex comedies, and "Squeeze Play" ranks among the worst of the worst. This limp, embarrassing, ultra-cheap dud was made strictly for the drive-in crowd, and judging from the quality of the film, they were even less discriminating than the made-for-video crowd of today.
All you needed to succeed was a threadbare plot, some naked bodies and a bunch of "will work for food" actors and actresses that register at zero on the talent scale. The weird thing about this relic is that there's almost as much male nudity as female nudity, making you wonder who exactly they were targeting this picture towards. I think the makers were trying to be pro-feminist by showing the girls getting even with the guys, but it's not so feminist to edit out the wet T-shirt scene.
The movie is kind of a predecessor to the original "Porky's", which is a film that gets most of the credit for starting the sex comedy boom of the early 1980's. This film is just bad enough to make a rightful claim to that honor. And this has the added bonus os getting to see a guy catch a baseball with his butt cheeks, and judging from Troma president Lloyd Kaufmann's commentary before the movie, it is considered the picture's high point. He seemed very poud of it.
That's good, I guess, because there's not much else to be proud of in "Squeeze Play". This gives low brow humor a bad name.

It's really just another stupid comedy, but I found it enjoyable anyway, it's funny for the most part. The story is alright, even if it is silly. Overall, it's an okay movie, depending if you're in the mood for a stupid comedy or not.

A cheesy, low-budget, silly movie, with sex jokes, but I kinda liked it too, it's fun. Not a good movie, but fun to watch if you've got nothing better to do.

Okay, let me be blunt: about two thirds of this movie just flat out sucks, and many of the ideas in it are done to death. But the things that are funny are work like a charm. It's one of the very few 80s sex comedies that actually snuck a joke or two in that weren't about gay people to go alone with the pale, not very attractive TA. The feminism seems, looking at what Troma did after this, kind of like lip service, but it's still better than most competition.
The plot is a bunch of softball players generally irritate their significant others, and they form a female softball team.
And the music is great.
