Am I Missing Something?

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

"Schulmädchen Report 3" is the third part of the famous German "Schulmädchen" series, that deals with the sexual life and problems of youngsters within the German society of the 1970s. It portrays some cases which are meant to be typical for the average teen and draws conclusions for parents.In many points this is just the same as the first two parts have already delivered earlier. While you can barely say that in the third film the mission is still to open the minds towards a more open view on sexuality, it probably functions mainly as kind of an erotic flick. In a way it is of course positive, that this movie, as well as others, broke with the taboo of talking about sex. On the other hand, there are some cases depicted here that just aren't acceptable. Judging an elderly father of being innocent after sexual contact with a girl of 12 years is just bizarre. As well as it is to depict a male victim of rape as a weak human being that is to be laughed at. This way you don't take sexual crimes and their victims seriously and become a part of the problem.All in all this ruins the otherwise rather unspectacular impression for me. If you want to shoot a sex flick only, maybe just don't try to become a moral authority at the same time.

This is the third of 13 "Schulmädchen Report" movies and it was released only roughly half a year after movie 2. It is the last one that won the Golden Screen (an award for films that were big hits at the box office) and also the last one that had Friedrich von Thun in the cast. He is still fairly known today. The movie runs for 93 minutes and is one of the longest of the whole franchise. The film's director is Ernst Hofbauer and he also directed some of the sequels still to come. The co-director is Walter Boos and he also directed some of the sequels. Also, he was an assistant director on the German Academy award nominee "The Devil Came at Night".Early on, in this film, there is the question what can the filmmakers still give us that is new and interesting. Funnily enough, there were still 10 "Schulmädchen"-films made after this. And among the new things they offer us a group rape scene and a ruthless janitor who blackmails the victim for his own sexual pleasure. I also felt that this film was a bit more critical towards men than the 2 previous films. The horny teacher would be an example who keeps touching all his female students except the one obese girl. Apart from him, there is a sequence about a father who abuses his own daughter. There were not really many taboos here anymore in the early 70s. And there is a Lolita tale. Pay attention to how in one scene a bottle is right where a man's genital is. I mentioned taboos earlier and male nudity was pretty much the only one left. This goes also for all the other "Schulmädchen" films. It's also an indicator that there is not much scientific value to these and that it's all pretense as the filmmakers knew that men who watch these films to get horny will really be turned off by male genitalia. The last part is about a suicidal couple and intended as the dramatic highpoint I guess, but it was not that well-executed at all. In my opinion, this film is still better than most or all of the sequels, but it is still not a good movie at all.

This film, third installment in a series totaling 13 entries, is not - as another reviewer mentioned - intended to be "educational". As with the other flicks of the series, the educational frame is only used to display absurdities in the sex life of German "school girls" of the 70s. In fact, it's classical soft porn stuff with a strong comical touch. No one speaks or acts as these "school girls" do; but some wish they would. The product of this fantasy are the "Schulmädchenreports". True, back in the days of their original releases, millions went to the cinema to see them. That, however, does not say anything about their quality, let alone the "educational" effort behind them. Looking at it today, and especially at vol. 3, it's hard not to laugh out loud. Every usual element is included: Incest, suicide, nymphomania and an over-the-top "liberalism" that makes sex look like everyone's single spare time activity. However, this particular film also has some darker moments (which are no less funny, but probably unintended to be so). If you want to see the father seduced by his own daughter to "save" the parents marriage, or want to witness a beautiful girl seducing her 10-year-old cousin(!), this one is the place to go. However funny and/or strange the episodes of the film are, one has to keep in mind that the actors were non-professionals, basically casted "on the street". This alone makes it an interesting reflection on the social reality of Germany in the years following '68.

I have one big problem: I really hate those stupid TV erotic movies from the 1990s. Every night in The Film Zone you find low quality frech made for TV motion pictures that I really don't like at all. But we're very lucky because now you can find on DVD classic eroticism from the 1970s. In Costa Rica, School girls growing up part 3, was in the 1980s the most watch film ever. I'm talking about good times. When men really appreciate the beauty of women and were not addicted to XXX videos without any story. When I was really young I use to watch the adds in the news paper. I was really obsessed with movies that were impossible to watch because of my age. Fanny Hill, Bilitis, Emmanuelle, Emmanuelle 2, Goodbye Emmanuelle, Salon Kitty. When I watched those posters I always thought: How many skin show those movies?. How diabolical are those actresses in the posters?. I'm I going to hell if I ever watch some of this movies?. I was really intrigued about them. So, when I was enough big, I start watching every legendary erotic movie from France, Germany and Italy. This one, in its hometown, it supposed to be an educational film about the sexual life of 60s and 70s teenagers. But in Costa Rica and some other countries of the world if was released as sofcore porn. The first two movies of the saga and the last eight, never came here. And we're still waiting.
