The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

"Hot T-Shirts" is a tedious sex "comedy" about a bar that rejuvenates its business by hosting "wet t-shirt" contests. It should really be called "cold t-shirts", obviously.Like most of these movies, it doesn't really have any characters. No one has any discernible personality, and absolutely no one will stick in your memory. The movie is just endless sequences with women dancing on stage with, yes, wet t-shirts. There is also some scant nudity: women occasionally flash a breast while on stage, and there's one scene where some of the women change their shirts. Not exactly the most creative way of showing skin, and entirely unerotic, too.The only development in the movie, however predictable it is, features a group of older ladies who are appalled by the contests and decide to protest at the bar. Upon arrival, one of the ladies is caught up in the fun of women dancing with wet t-shirts, and seizes a spray bottle to soak her companions with. Luckily that doesn't lead to any exposed skin from the old ladies.

Truly awful T&A flick. It rises to a level of patheticness that I don't think I've ever seen before. It's incompetently written and performed - it's no surprise that director/writer Chuck Vincent made a lot of actual porn movies before turning to softcore in the '80s. The actors are slightly better than porn actors - slightly. The story concerns a schlub (Ray Holland) who owns a failing bar. His disco-loving buddy (Glenn Mure) can't quite convince him to turn it into a dance club, but he is able to persuade him to host wet T-shirt contests. The film has almost no real conflict, and its attempts to add it are always extremely weak. Yes, there are boobs on display - although a good alternate name for the flick would be The Itty Bitty Titty Committee - but naked breasts are pretty much a commodity nowadays. Sure, if this had come on Cinemax on a Friday night when I was 13, I'd be happy with it. Nowadays - I don't know why the Hell I bothered to sit through it.

When I came across this movie via a related movie link on Netflix, I was intrigued by the horrible reviews and rating. It seemed impossible that any movie could really have a complete absence of redeeming qualities. Although this movie's title implies a classic sex-romp movie so popular during the early 80s, it doesn't even accomplish that bit of harmless fun. This movie is quite frankly the worst movie I've ever seen. The acting is abysmal, cinematography is non-existent, or in some cases even counterproductive, and the plot line is so thin it looks almost random. Events wander from one scene to the next, connected only by the flimsy premise of a bar owner struggling to save his business by staging wet t- shirt contests every night, getting some very unlikely contestants. Even the presence of gratuitous nudity, doesn't help save this movie or even save the viewer from complete boredom. The only thing I will remember about this movie is the realization that it represents 86 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Be warned.

I saw this in New Westminster, British Columbia on a double bill with THE HAPPY HOOKER GOES HOLLYWOOD. It was the first(but not only)time I attended a movie with no women in the audience.The story involved young women living in a small town. The girls who were born in the town were constantly feuding with the ones attending the local college. They decide to settle their differences by forming teams and staging a wet t-shirt competition,just like real women would do. The theater I saw this at - The Paramount - is now a lap-dance club.
