The movie is called "Stewardess School", although stewardesses are by definition female, and there are men at the school too, some of whom are main characters. That does not inspire confidence.

I guess it's another in the line of movies about a group of wacky misfits trying to make it through training to become... whatever hadn't been done yet. Think of "Stripes", "Police Academy", "Young Doctors in Love", "STITCHES".

You might not have heard of the last two, and there's a reason for that: the're garbage, like this one is.

"Stewardess School" seems to have not that bad a budget, but it just doesn't work. It's not funny in the least, most of its attempts at humour being more confusing than anything else.

"Stripes" worked because it had talent like Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, John Candy, Judge Reinhold, John Larroquette, Warren Oates. Even "Police Academy" managed some memorable characters. "Stewardess School" has... what? A guy who is very near sighted, so he wears coke-bottle glasses. Ho ho. A spoilt rich girl who is slumming it as a biker punk girl... but after the movie introduces her, in a bizarrely out-of-place scene, it forgets about her for about another hour or so, leaving you thinking, "what was the point of that scene with the rich biker punk girl?" Why introduce her, and then do nothing with her?

These problems could have been solved with some basic screenplay maintenance. Give it some kind of structure, anything. Maybe trim the endless list of forgettable characters. They could have combined two or three of these character traits into one character and made the whole thing a little easier to follow.

What it is, is a mess. An endless mess. A tiring mess. A mess so bad I had to start writing this review to distract me from the movie's final act, which is obviously supposed to be the point where all the wacky characters' crazy traits actually come in handy and save the day.

The movie does have a few people in it you might recognize. Sandahl Bergman, from "Conan" and "All That Jazz". And Earl Boen, whose name you may not know, but you've definitely seen him in at least one - probably two - of the "Terminator" movies. And lastly, Don Most, providing a great indication as to why his post-"Happy Days" career went absolutely nowhere.

While writing, planning, filming, editing and marketing this movie, did anybody stop to ask the question: do they even HAVE schools for stewardesses, anyway? Do you really need to go to "school" to get that job? At least "Stripes" and "Police Academy" were send ups of organizations that actually exist.

Any movie that starts with a plane crashing into downtown LA that's played as a total farce is one I'm going to remember. Philo (Brett Cullen, who was on Falcon Crest and played Johnny Blaze's dad in 2007's Ghost RIder) has always wanted to be a pilot, but that crash - in a simulator - is because his contact lenses got knocked out by his friend and fellow pilot George (Donny Most, here booked as Don).

They decide that they want to stay on planes, so they enroll at Weidermeyer Academy, a stewardess schools. Imagine Police Academy throughout this movie, with the teachers like Miss "Ironpants" Grummet as the older cops and the students as the cadets. Mary Cadorette - who played Vicky, the girl who finally got Jack Tripper to settle down and go from Three's Company to Three's a Crowd - is Kelly Johnson, an extremely clumsy girl. There's a stereotypical gay guy. A frumpy overweight girl played by Wendie Jo Sperber, as Wendie played this role in nearly every film. There's Wanda Polanski, a pro wrestler who just lost her latest boyfriend played by Conan the Barbarian's Sandahl Bergman. Julia Montgomery - yes, Betty Childs herself - plays an overly nice version of that role. Corinne Bohrer plays a punk rock girl in love with a biker (she's a vet of these movies, appearing in Zapped!, Joysticks, Surf II, Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love and the fourth Police Academy movie). And oh yeah - Judy Landers as Sugar Dubois, a hooker with a heart of gold that's on work release.

After going through hell, everyone graduates and gets a job at the struggling Stromboli Air. Their first flight has a blind person's convention and a man with a bomb who doses people with LSD. Of course, our heroes have to land the plane and fix things. But don't worry - everything works out just fine.

Voiceover artist Rob Paulsen (Pinky of Pinky and the Brain amonst 250 different animated characters and over 1000 commercials) shows up in a rare live action role. Sherman Helmsley appears briefly as Mr. Buttersworth. And the owner of the school is played by William Bogert, who hosted the Frontline segments on Chapelle's Show.

If you had Comedy Central in the 1990's, there's a good chance you saw this movie. Trust me. You did.

How funny is this movie. Bloody funny. I've seen it a few times, and it just keeps on cracking me up every time, I see it. An added plus, it has Ralph the mouth (Donald Most). Much the way Moving Violations started, showing individually how some of the unlucky group ended up back in traffic school with their blunders, we see the unlucky few here making a change of vocation, where their last one ended with disastrous results. One female wrestler, throws her opponent mistakenly on to her small nerd of a boyfriend sitting front of crowd, next to an obese woman with a raucous laugh, which is one hoot itself. A rich family send their unmannerly daughter to this Stewardess School, where the father gets her biker boyfriend this new spit shine bike. He's taken. He's entrance into the Stewardess School is a classic. Her "I'll miss you" to him, ends with him belching, then pulling a donut, before shooting off back down the hallway and steps on his new prized possession. There are so many cheap laughs in this infectious b comedy. The plot here has anyone joining and put through a rigorous ten week program, where at the end they're demoted to the worst airline, Trimboli airlines, where they're ulterior motives at hand here. On this airline, there so happens to be an undercover officer, surveying this show, and when revealed right at the end, you'll be engaged in hearty chuckles. Most is so funny too, like at the start where he lets one go in an elevator, a one liner prompting this, or like when he asks a couple of girls if they wanna play hide the salami, or when he mistakes a girl's smile off campus, as an invitation, where Mr better looking approaches, and we can't forget his chesshire cat grin when he mistakes the showers as communal ones, where our naked Sandrahl Bergman (Murphy's Law) literally tosses him out. And like all these type movies, our students beat obstacles, and come out good. Judy Landers, almost resembling a particular scene in Doin Time, is great if you're overweight and require a physical. Just send her in first. Also when at the welcoming meeting, she tends to her kinky tricks again- lip licking, behind bending, smooching, bra fondling. See how she causes the director of the school to mispronounce his lines. So many funny moments, so many funny mentions, this is a truly overlooked b comedy, that runs consistently, all the way through. Don't be one of the overlooking party. You'll thank me in the morning.
