JOYSTICKS is an amusingly cheesy teen sex comedy from cult director Greydon Clark. The setting is a videogame arcade, where various cool and geeky characters hang out and just try to have fun while punk rivals and some adult bigwigs try to shut them down. It's a rather mindless affair that nonetheless captures a little bit of the madness of ANIMAL HOUSE, and there's an absolute ton of nudity from endless blonde actresses for those who enjoy that sort of thing. Joe Don Baker plays the antagonist of the hour and is quite fun, although not as much fun as the '80s trappings (check out those outfits!) and, for nostalgia lovers like myself, the glimpses of the big hit games of the era, Pacman in particular.
