Review

Genius is seldom without inspiration. Proponents of divine intervention have long posited that the concept for Booty Call (1997) came straight to the filmmakers from God himself, but the truth may be that a past viewing of School Spirit (1985) planted the seed of miracle. Imagine this: The premise for School Spirit is that a college dude has finally persuaded the co-ed of his dreams to join him for bed-top conjugation, but with one caveat. He must first obtain a condom. Rather than go ghetto in the second and third acts, Spirit goes ghost, with the rubber-seeker dying in a tragic car crash. But wait, this is a comedy! If you were freshly dead and suddenly able to venture unseen into any private place in the material world, would your first stop be the girls’ shower room back at your dear, departed alma mater? If so, you’ve been struck with the same brush of brilliance as School Spirit's creators.
