David K It's camp though not as over the top as say something like a John film. Watch it for the music and Mamie Van Doren. It will give you about 30 - 45 minutes of fun then tails off. But, hey, it's late Friday night and you want something ridiculous you don't have to think about, right? Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Robert H Too bad to even be funny. Mamie has to have the worst singing voice of anyone in the last or current century. Had to have a sugar daddy. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Watching some of the old MST3K episodes available for streaming on Hulu and Netflix (there is a different random selection on each platform). Whether it is Joel or Mike watching these awful movies with the bots I do not envy their torture. Their snarky comments add some entertainment value, but my ratings are based on the movie's quality itself and not the commentary broadcast from the satellite of love. A misunderstanding of juvenile delinquency. A lame and too clean-cut representation of rock-n-roll, although it is the early years of the music genre. Has an element of the movie Brubaker about prison corruption, but with teens forced into slave labor to serve their time. Two sisters are the main characters. One wants to be a singer and one falls for the son of a local farming boss. Unintentionally funny while poorly written and shot. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Could be the worst movie ever Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member The whole thing is awfully, awfully silly. The strangely pneumatic Ms Van Doren wants to be an entertainer and regularly bursts into song, but dances like she has only heard rock â??nâ?? roll dancing described and has never seen it. So joyfully imbued with the rock â??nâ?? roll spirit are these kids that - despite being desperately exploited - they manage at one point to spontaneously break into a big number in the cotton fields. Itâ??s replete with quaint 1950s-isms, such as one woman in a catfight threatening to give the other an â??Italian haircutâ?? (I still donâ??t know what that means) and regularly exclaiming â??Chihuahua!â?? (quite possibly to confirm her identity as a Latina)â?¦ and Eddie Cochrane. It canâ??t really be said to be a prison movie. Though a private prison precursor, perhaps. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A hugely under-appreciated B movie. The cast is superb starting with Mamie Van Doren - the first female actor to sing rock and roll in a movie. The campy plot line and cheesy dialogue are entertainingly groan-inducing. The music is surprisingly catchy.. Director Howard W. Koch would go on to have a very distinguished career in Hollywood including head of Paramount Pictures.
