Lovelines (1984)
4/10
Lovelines doesn't reach the levels of Animal House, Police Academy or Meatball films that were so popular during this era

I recently watched Lovelines (1984) on Tubi. The storyline follows two rival high schools who can't stand each other and compete heavily in everything from sports to battle of the bands. When a guy from one school falls in love with a girl from his rival, things get Harry between friends and family. Can the budding couple overcome the obstacles put in front of them and "make it?"

This picture is directed by Rodney Amateau (The Garbage Pail Kids Movie) and stars Greg Bradford (Zapped!), Michael Winslow (Police Academy), Mary Beth Evans (Days of Our Lives) and Miguel Ferrer (Traffic).

This has a strong nostalgic 80s feel to it with its cheesy brand of comedy and fun attire, hairstyles and circumstances. The storyline is fairly bland and straightforward. The music montages were way too long and the love story was just okay. Theres a sex scene in the principles office that could have been executed way better. Michael Winslow's scenes are just okay and feel a bit forced. There is a funny Deliverance reference and who doesn't love a great 80s soundtrack?

In conclusion, Lovelines doesn't reach the levels of Animal House, Police Academy or Meatball films that were so popular during this era. I would score this a 4/10 and recommend skipping it.
