Among all bowling movies...

Nude Bowling Party wasn't a strike. It was a silly turkey stuffed with shameless nudity.

This movie if you call it, a movie, isn't really anything, but nudity. It's porn for the gutter-minded. It's hard to be harsh on it, since after all: the movie did give what the title promise for. Directed by J.L Williams, its indeed bowled and the beautiful! The movie had some really beautiful nude women. First off, there is the model team made out of Teresa Politi AKA Teresa Langley & Taryn Carter AKA Francine. Teresa had that Southern belle charm that you can't help, loving. Her body looked like it had some work. Francine is the only one that seem to be exotic and ethical looking. I don't know, if she just happen to have a tan, but she's look Latina or Armenian. I kinda wish, there were at less, an Asian & a black girl added to the mix. Then you got the dancers team made out of Tammy Parks AKA Bambi & Jacqueline Lovell AKA Sara St. James as Barbie. Tammy Parks, the redhead by far was the worst bowler in the film as she might had been going for a gutter ball record. While, she's beautiful, she had one of the most fake looking bodies, I ever saw. Surprising Jacqueline Lovell is the best of them, all and also the person with the most success in her career after this film. She looks all natural. They're all beautiful, but gees
they suck at bowling. If you take away, the nude women here, you really get a really boring film as the nudity get tiresome fast. There is little to no challenge to their game. After 18 minutes of strip-tease. The film gets pretty dead, because there is no clothes left for them to take off. For the next 37 minutes; the film is just bowling shoe ugly, monotonous bowling. The movie is supposed to have Dancers Vs Models, but there is little to no differs, between them. The dancers rarely dance, and almost all the bowlers model for the camera. Supposedly, this bowling party was also a photo shoot spread for a porno magazine or something like the credits mention. The thing is, the presence of the photographers there, made the movie, a little less sexy. It made the film seem really slimy. It wasn't that funny to have them, around, anyways. Joe Pornofsky (Scott Spiegel) & Ivan Raimi as Joe's depraved assistant weren't that great as comic relief. Ivan Raimi, the older brother of director Sam Raimi, was so embarrassed with his role, than that he was credited as Alan Smithee Sr. Honestly, he look like a horny Stanley Kubrick in this film. Even the goofy, play by play announcers by Nick D'Antone (Tom Van Vlsingen) & Cliff Dyer (Power D) weren't really needed. It was a bit funny that they had to come into the game, to teach them, how to bowl, since the game was going so poorly. The game was interrupted time after time, by fake self-mockery commercials where the nude girls pitch fake products like law firms, and foot deodorizers. The silliest of them all, was the Security guard, Scott pitching pills. Most of the humor in the film were mostly misses than hits to the funny bone. The redundantly bouncy synthesizer score were annoying as hell. It was on repeat, way too long. The cheesy early 90s graphics show off, how low budget, it was. The best thing about the film is how much fun, it look like everybody was having. Nobody seem to be put off by it. It's hard to make bowling seem sexy. If you looking for a hardcore sex movie. This movie isn't that. It's has more of the soft core feel. There isn't a lot of close ups on the girl's private parts. Even their vaginas are somewhat cover by landing strip hair. For a movie about nude bowling party, it was pretty classy. There wasn't a lot of harsh language, and degrading of women, here. So thumb ups for that. Overall: I wouldn't say, this movie is an astonishing celluloid achievement of remarkable depth and significance. I wouldn't even say, that the movie makes a good underdog sport movie. I would say, if you ever wonder how low, shameless nudity can go. Here is the movie for you.
An undeserving film is enjoyed
Kayt R17 August 2000
Nude Bowling Party is not a good film. Plot, lighting, and character development are almost ignored altogether. And, as a film that was obviously created to display female nudity, it is not even mildly titillating. However, that being said, it is a fun film with a strange sense of integrity and self-mockery. I recommend it for casual gatherings of friends in search of something to bond together and ridicule.
Most nude sporting videos involve a sport backdrop (say golf) for small scenes of soft-core pornography.rarely are the games actually played. Nude Bowling Party is different; the participants bowl ten frames. They bowl poorly, and they look rather absurd wearing only socks and bowling rent-a-shoes, but they are trying. On the rare occasion that a pin is felled they jump up and down in a manner that conveys both mirth, and pain. This is half the fun. Everyone on the set seems to be having fun; no one sports the common soft-core look of boredom and drugs.
In addition to the actual game, mock commercials add a level of self-mockery and humor. These half-clad lassies pitch for faux law firms and foot deodorizers. Its not DADA, but it is more than mildly surreal.
By the end of viewing this film my friends and I were cheering for our prospective teams.
Oh, and do look for Ivan Raimi.Sam Raimi's lesser-known brother.
And, as the credits suggest, ask for the novelization at finer bookstores.

A Real Sleeper
budscott122925 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is a real sleeper. It has no plot and is very boring. The only thing that kept me awake was wondering if something interesting was ever going to happen. When they started bowling, they started to take their clothes off and after the third frame, they were nude. Once they were nude, all it was, was lousy bowling. The movie is 55 minutes in length and could have been done half the time.
Cult Classic Material

I am shocked to find that this movie has no sort of following. I'm not joking. It's nostalgic, surreal, fun, energetic, and self-aware.
While it is true that the girls are mostly bad at bowling and there's not much eroticism working here, that doesn't matter. The fact that 4 nude models were paid to bowl and film satirical advertisements while being ogled is just great.
I genuinely cannot put into words how this movie makes me feel. It fills me with strange happiness, and the fact that people could dislike it amazes me. Perhaps the best word to describe this film's appeal is "campy".
To conclude, I really like Nude Bowling Party. It's something unlike anything I've ever seen before, and I am glad I stumbled across this. I'm surprised this movie isn't more celebrated, as it's something unique and special. Nude Bowling Party is absolutely worth a watch, and has earned a special place in my heart.

A true work of profound and beautiful cinematic art
Woodyanders20 March 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The premise alone promises absolute greatness: Two rival distaff bowling teams -- a pair of models and a couple of dancers -- compete against each other in a fierce bowling contest. Throughout the course of the match all four participants remove articles of clothing and are completely nude by the end of the third frame. Meanwhile, two bumbling announcers provide divinely asinine play-by-play commentary on the game. Writer/director J.L. Williams offers a brilliant and incisive heartfelt meditation on man's deep-seated need to see gorgeous young women participating in a famous sporting activity in their birthday suits (okay, all the gals are still wearing socks and bowling shoes, but why nitpick about such an inconsequential minor detail?). Better still, Williams not only delivers oodles of yummy bare female skin, but also tickles the funny bone with exceptional wit and precision with occasional spot-on silly commercial breaks advertising a shyster law firm, sporting bras, questionable pain pills (they make you feel nothing at all), and a foot deodorizing product.
The blazing hot babes wiggle and jiggle with utmost arousing aplomb: Slinky blonde soft-core starlet Jacqueline Lovell in particular positively burns up the screen (and proves to be the best bowler of the bunch); the equally delectable Taryn Carter likewise brings on the incendiary heat something smoking. Frequent Sam Raimi cohort Scott Spiegel as leering pervert photographer Joe Pornofsky and Sam's lesser known older brother Ivan as Joe's depraved assistant ably supply gut-busting comic relief. The redundantly bouncy synthesizer score and Daniel Yarussi's crude cinematography further enhance this baby's considerable deliciously cheesy charm. But what makes this honey so special and satisfying is the fact that it totally follows through on its gloriously raunchy high concept premise of sexy chicks bowling in the buff while smiling and giggling the entire time. An astonishing celluloid achievement of remarkable depth and significance.
