Review of Teen Witch (1989) by Barry P — 30 Aug 2008

Teen Witch is an ideal lamb to the slaughter for you and your friends. It's a great example of late-80s camp, ripe with painfully outdated style and bizarre in the most incomprehensible of ways. This movie isn't terrible by any conventional definitions, but it's a dime-a-dozen romcom with a gimmick that this era excreted out constantly and has summarily been forgotten. I think the greatest part about it is that Teen Witch completely abandons her frumpy Jewish best friend after she becomes pretty and popular and we never hear from her again.

I know everyone cites Top That as the pinnacle of this movie, but in my opinion, I Like Boys is by far the most brilliant musical number to be found in Teen Witch. Dances in the locker room? Spray-on deodorant? Towel shimmying? Only in my best dreams.
