A reporter appears on camera and tells the audience the producers had no intention of making a sequel to Schoolgirl Report but the “overwhelming response from viewers” forced them to make another one. As before, the film is broken up into several “fictionalized” vignettes. There’s also man on the street interviews sandwiched in between the vignettes where women are asked about their sexual mores and preferences.
Segment #1 (***): Sexy schoolgirls tease their science teacher while he does a lesson about how friction between two bodies causes a “tingly sensation”. They then set out to blackmail and seduce him. This sequence has a fun and playful set-up, and the ladies are quite sexy (and funny) too. However, it all ends on a tragic note.
Segment #2 (***): Some teens explore their blossoming sexuality in a barn before they get busted by a cop. This one has a nice blend of the awkwardness and innocence that’s inherent in sexual exploration. Unfortunately, like young love itself, it climaxes abruptly.
Segment #3 (** ½): Two teenage girls say, “Fuck school! We want to be free!” and run away from home. They soon learn they have to use their bodies to survive on the streets. Despite a promising start, there’s not much of an ending to this segment.
Segment #4 (** ½): This sequence is a humorous affair. A young couple try to lose their virginity in the woods when a farmer steals their clothes. This one is short and sweet. Maybe too short as the ending just sort of fizzles out.
Segment #5 (**): A girl is brought home by two degenerates who shoot her up with heroin and rape her. This segment is brief and depressing, but there is at least one great line of dialogue when the hoods shoot up smack and say, “Whoever invented this should get a medal!”
Segment #6 (***): A teen is tricked into posing nude for a photographer. (“Half-dressed is porn. Total nudity is natural!”) Later her friends follow suit. This one is a return to the more playful segments earlier in the film. The photo shoot scene is fun and even a bit arty too.
Segment #7 (***): A young girl is set up by her friends to lose her virginity to a real “stud” who winds up being a virgin too. Meanwhile, the other girls try to bribe a cabbie into stripping. Here's another sequence that finds the right blend of innocence and sexy fun that I wish was more prevalent throughout the film.
Segment #8 (** ½): A teen girl seduces her math tutor. When her father catches them in the act, he has him thrown in jail. She then attempts suicide. While this is the darkest entry, it ends with a plea for tolerance and understanding when it comes to girls experimenting with their sexuality, which softens the blow a bit.
Segment #9 (** ½): This one is not exploitative and plays like a German version of an American After School Special. The parents of a teenage girl freak out when they learn she’s pregnant. Once the baby comes, they have embraced their role as grandparents. Although it's kind of sweet, it makes for a disappointing ending. I guess with so much excess here, the filmmakers wanted to end things on an upbeat note.
