Entertaining In A Stupid Kind Of Way
I love eighties movies of all kinds, yet I have been neglecting the great eighties sex comedy for a while. I decided to finally catch up on some of them, and I figured JOYSTICKS wasn’t a bad place to start.

The local video arcade is the greatest hot spot in town for the teens, but it’s not too popular with the richest man in town. Can the manager’s grandson (who runs the place, since his grandfather is out of town), his nerdy co-worker, and the arcade’s gaming champion stop him from shutting it down for good?

Even if it’s not the greatest, JOYSTICKS still manages to entertain despite itself. It’s your stereotypical eighties comedy, with lots of sex jokes, boobs, and all the caricatures you’d expect to find (the fat guy, the nerd, the suave guy, the punk, etc.). This kind of familiarity gives JOYSTICKS a very comfortable feeling, like homemade cooking.

Fans of eighties nostalgia will have a lot to love as well, with a classic soundtrack filled with cheesy tunes (including a title song), as well as all (or at least most of) the arcade games you can remember. The film does have its funny parts, and they’re funny in the “that’s-so-stupid” kind of way.

However, for every funny part, there are at least two jokes that fall flat on their face. This leads to some groan-worthy moments where you wonder why they would even put a joke like that in the film. For one, there’s the rich guy’s daughter, who they try to make funny by making her voice squeaky and making every third word she says, “Like.” There are also the bumbling nephews who go into the arcade incognito with one of them dressed in drag.

JOYSTICKS really isn’t that great, but it provides for a fun night of late twentieth century nostalgia. I’m being really generous by awarding it a 7/10, but no one can deny how fun it is.

There are obviously better eighties comedies out there, but this one will still entertain in a C.H.U.D. II: BUD THE C.H.U.D. kind of way.

Thank You!
Thank you all for your support of this wonderfully perverse piece of classic entertainment! When Mickey Epps and I wrote the original screenplay we never thought it would turn into a piece of movie memorabilia. Sex comedies in the 80’s will never return (that could be good or bad), but nonetheless, playing video games topless or in your underwear is now done in the privacy of the home and no longer in video arcades. So, worry not, you naysayers of this pulchritudinous adventure in film-making, you will not see a sequel to this movie. But because of it, I’m sure you’ve created a number of memorable moments in your own personal histories at various drive-ins and the back rows of the movie theaters! Long live teen sex comedies… long live perverted, out-of-work, over-aged, have nothing better to do writers… like myself!!!!!
