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

  • 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.
