The low-budget story of a horny teen named Archie Anders, his hungry pal Mughead, his arch-rival Reggy, and his girl pals Bette and Ronnie. Sound familiar? Archie's desperate to get him some lovin' before that big ball in Times Square drops and ushers in the brand-spankin' new year of 1974. Predictably, there's bad acting and lots of nudity...nothing you haven't seen before. For fun, try and see how many times the boom mike drops into the shot. Or maybe, try and guess what these people are doing attending high school on New Year's Eve. Haven't you people ever heard of Christmas break? I've long believed that this movie was suppressed by the notoriously litigious and powerful people who make Archie Comics, and it appears to have been edited quickly and sloppily. For example, odd "koo-koo" sounds cover certain offensive words, but not others...it reeks of post-production tampering. Starring a bunch of nobodies that you never heard of, most of whom never worked in the business again.
