Premise

Three sexy young women are hired to ensure that three college students don't pass their final exams, which would preclude one of them from inheriting a family fortune.

Cast

Filmed in Manhattan and nearby suburbs, the film has a cast of New York City based actors, several from Broadway with credits ranging from musicals (William Hardy, Peter Brady Reardon), to Shakespeare (Dennis Drake, Leslie Barrett), along with future screenwriter and director Katt Shea, the actress and model Lynda Wiesmeier, and Jerry Butler, an award-winner from earlier Vincent films, showing his versatility here in a comedic role.

    • Reception

    Variety praised the direction and said "The sight gags are often amusing." The Los Angeles Times called it "silly, crude inept soft core porn." More recently a Cashiers du Cinemart overview of Vincent's early R-rated comedies cited their "joyful embracing of sex through a bawdy, burlesque lens" that made them, once they became staples on cable, the "favorites of teenage boys in the early ’90s everywhere", and specifically praised Preppies for its "very breezy and light" tone.
