Fun sexy road adventure

Now this is a road movie. Two quick-witted teen girls, Mouse (kind of attractive but sexy) and Bird (more attractive) take to the road in search of adventure. Not really sure how far they got, as a few of the license plates on the cars we see are from New York and New Jersey. But off they go!

The first ride we see them get is in a small camper with a band and some of their groupies. The band of course want sex, but at least are pleasant about it. The girls refuse, and get out. Now, the funny thing is, soon after this particular reluctance to "put out" for a ride, our heroines are soon taking their clothes off and getting "busy" with just about anyone who can give them anything, from a ride to even food.

They proceed to encounter a lot of goofy characters, and pretty much have sex with most everyone. They also pick up a third girl, a virgin who is gorgeous but can't act, but who cares about that. Turns out her boyfriend was a clerk in a diner the gals stripped at for some food, and we see him again later pretend to be a rock star.

A few more of the characters they encounter are a horny cop, a wealthy socialite, and even a somewhat "lovable" rapist of all things. Eventually the three gals end up at an orgy, where porn legends Marc Stevens (who eyeballs the virgin while speaking with a much less attractive girl) and Eric Edwards making uncredited cameos, Edwards even speaking a few lines. Why there's even some cute cats hanging around the orgy (strictly as observers, no worries).

The finale of the film is even kind of clever and it all ties up rather nicely. There is a LOT of nudity of course, plenty of simulated sex, and despite the "X" rating at the end, the film never goes hardcore. But there is more than enough nudity to keep sleaze lovers happy.

The two leads have great comic timing and deliver their rapid-fire lines with great natural skill. They have decent chemistry that carries the film along as we watch them hop from episode to episode. It's a shame there wasn't a sequel made, it would have been great to see the gals make it to the west coast.

Immensely enjoyable 70's road movie exploitation romp

Mouse (adorable Chris Jordan) and Bird (the gorgeous Sandra Peabody of "The Last House on the Left" fame) are a couple of sassy and sexy hitchhikers who embark on a cross country road trip in search of freedom, excitement, and independence. The lovely ladies use their nubile bodies as currency and run across a diverse array of libidinous folks on their journey. Director Gerrie Sedley and writer Rod Whipple astutely nail the aimless wandering spirit of the laid-back early 70's while relating the rambling episodic narrative at a leisurely pace. Of course, they also deliver plenty of tasty female nudity and several sizzling soft-core sex scenes (an uninhibited anything-goes orgy at a wild swingin' party rates as the definite erotic highlight). Moreover, this movie boasts a hilariously breezy sense of distinctly 70's irreverent humor, with loads of sharp sarcastic dialogue (favorite line: "If you want bread, go *beep* a baker!") and inspired oddball moments that include our saucy protagonists dancing topless at a diner for food and a surreal backwoods encounter with a vicious escaped rapist (an amusing performance by Ric Mancini). Jordan and Peabody make for attractive and appealing leads; their nice natural chemistry keeps the picture buzzing throughout. Popping up in nifty supporting parts are the cute Nikki Lynn as mopey virginal innocent Jennie, Claire Wilbur as wealthy predatory lesbian Toni Blake, Peter Carew as jolly traveling salesman Dick Daggart, Kevin Andre as flaky car dealer Farquart, and Ivan Smith as a goofy local yokel cop. Gabriel Merchant's bright cinematography gives the film a pleasing sunny look. The groovy diggin' score offers an eclectic mix of tuneful folk, jaunty ragtime, and get-down funky rock. Good trashy fun.

Engaging exploitation-style road movie.

A free-spirited pair, "Mouse" (Chris Jordan, "Confessions of a Young American Housewife") and "Bird" (Sandra Peabody of the original "The Last House on the Left") are hitchhiking, with no definite destination in mind. Although they eventually connect with a virgin named Jennie (Jenny Lane, "Sexteen"),their story is basically episodic in nature. Among other things, they get singled out by a rich older lesbian (Claire Wilbur, "Score"),tangle with an on-the-loose rapist (Ric Mancini, "Friday the 13th: A New Beginning"),get a ride with a sleazy rock band, and let it all hang out in a climactic orgy.

Written by Rod Whipple, and directed by Claude Goddard ("Barbie's Fantasy"),"Teenage Hitchhikers" is good soft core fun. It manages to avoid ever being truly unpleasant, opting instead for a blatantly comedic, loopy approach that will either win over viewers or annoy them. Despite the presence of predatory characters in this yarn, our protagonists are willing participants in some of their escapades and not merely victims. It certainly is enjoyable to see them turn the tables on the rapist, by managing to convince him that he might be "inadequate". The action is often underscored by truly dumb stock music. And if you're reading this and thinking, "Yeah, but what about nudity?", fret not. Characters doff their clothes without a moments' hesitation; there is ample nudity, both female *and* male.

The performances are all adequate to the occasion, with Jordan and Peabody showing an impressive amount of poise in front of the camera. Lane kind of overdoes it as the "innocent" of the piece. Mancini is amusing, as is the gawky, dorky Donald Haines as Jennies' boyfriend "Mongo Donny". Camera operator Bill La Mond appears on screen as Wilburs' chauffeur; this also marked the big screen debut of Margaret Whitton, whose career peaked in the 80s with roles in things like "Major League" and "The Secret of My Success".

Recommended heartily to aficionados of 70s trash cinema.

Seven out of 10.
