When an odd-ball tennis team of a Los Angeles college sets out on a road trip to a regional college tennis tournament in fun-filled Las Vegas, all the stops are out and literally "anything goes" both on and off the court.

Cult Movie Challenge 2025: Hunt for the Jabroni Grail
Week 4, January 15 - 21
80’s Teen Comedy Week
A below average teen sex comedy for this week on the Cult Challenge. This one has its funny moments of slapstick here and there. Odd moments too… like when those Lesbian punks get hosed down at the neon confederate biker bar (yes, you heard that right). Also when that one teacher gets blackmailed via hooker photos haha… yeah 😅…
Most of the movie is taken up by a very uninteresting tennis championship plot so yeah, unfortunately, a lot of this was below average. It’s shot like a low rent 80’s TV movie too.
A big hell naw here too is that…
Christopher Lee in a teen sex comedy? Well, that was unexpected.
My third Steve Carver movie, and the trend I’m noticing is that they’re all fucking terrible.
some good hotels & way too much badly-shot tennis ("its volleyball with catgut!") not enough satanist baby mariska
Olivia Benson, Ogre and Count Dracula walk into a bar...only there's no punchline because this movie isn't funny.
One of the lesser known entries in the teen sex comedy genre, and to be honest there's a reason for that...
Jocks ain't all that funny.
It has a pretty good cast with the likes of Mariska Hargitay, Richard Roundtree, Katherine Kelly Lang and even Christopher Lee, but the comedy is decidedly low-brow and forced, tending to rely on misoginistic, racist and homophobic cheap shots that are more cringe-worthy than humorous.
It's watchable, but that's about it.
FYI - The cover shot has nothing to do with the film!
Goddammit. The switch in this Mill Creek box set to fuckin shitty college comedies is frustrating as it is confusing. I mean I was getting tired of the Satan cult repetition but Lordy this is a test.
There’s some neat character actors in this but honestly ten whole minutes went by before I realized the movie had been on the whole time because I just kinda kept spacing out and thinking about this ice cream truck that drives by my house some days. The thing is it has a funny little song it plays that’s unlike any other ice cream truck I’ve heard, which usually plays either some version of “Do Your Ears Hang Low”, or occasionally Greensleeves. But the…
JOCKS von Steve Carver, bei uns lediglich auf Videokassette veröffentlicht, ist eine nicht lustige, nicht interessante, dafür aber eine leblose Teenie-Komödie mit Darstellern, die mindestens sechs bis sieben Jahre zu alt sind, um als Teenager durchzugehen.
Mit Christopher Lee, Richard Roundtree und R.G. Armstrong haben sich zudem auch drei bekannte Gesichter in diese Geschichte um eine Tennis-Meisterschaft in Las Vegas verirrt, die mit stereotypen Klischees, Flachwitz und fürchterlicher 80er-Mucke nicht geizt.
Christoper Freakin' Lee is in this movie! So is Ogre. So is that woman from Law & Order. So is Frog from the movie Colors (my favourite character in that movie). And John Shaft.
Those are pretty much the only highlights of this film.
I swear I saw John Cryer as one of the opponents. He's not in the credits but it looked like him.
A perfectly breezy'n'easy 1980's teen comedy romp that alas could have been a bit wilder and raunchier, but still manages to be quite amusing and enjoyable thanks to its amiable tone and a fun cast who are clearly having a ball playing a colorful assortment of wacky characters. Amongst said fun cast, Richard Roundtree as a laidback, but still firm tennis coach, Sir Christopher Lee as a pompous college dean, and veteran character dude R.G. Armstrong as an asshole athletic director complete with hysterically horrible hair are total hoots in their juicy roles. The young folks are likewise quite good in their parts, with especially standout work from Scott Strader as a cocky tennis champ, Perry Lang as an affable…
Movie #5 of Xanax & Strippers: The Todd Gaines Movie Challenge
Watch An 80's T&A Movie
Here's a question I would love answered: what acting roles did Christopher Lee say "NO" to? This guy is in everything! 279 credits according to IMDB! The guy died last year and he still has movies coming out. What a fucking legend.
So, yes, Christopher Lee is in this film as a college HeadMaster who instructs his Athletic Director that one of the sports programs need to win a championship or he's FIRED. They decide to put all their chips on the tennis team because they win...even if they are a bunch of partying sleazebags.
There's a charm to the blissfully ignorant portrayal of these…
A misfit team of college tennis players (wait what?) is tasked with winning a regional tennis championship in Las Vegas or else their coach Richard Roundtree will be fired. They win. They win a regional tennis tournament. Hooray.
Why anyone is on this team is beyond me. The lead is the largest slice of Wonder Bread I think I’ve ever seen on film. Drunk Jeff is fun, as is Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds who is doing all his Ogre stuff except on a tennis court. There’s another dude on the team who is so nondescript that I thought he was also the nondescript dude from the OTHER team for half the movie.
The writers knew all the tropes…
