[Videos] Car Wash

Is it silly that I decided to review Car Wash — from a selection of literally thirty screeners in my pile — solely because of the presence of Katie Morgan, who I just saw a few days ago in mainstream romantic comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno? I always liked Katie’s work anyway, but the discovery that she’s capable of genuine comic timing (and that she’s willing to make fun of the business she’s in) made me even fonder. She does great work in this movie, too, and even gets to deliver some good lines.

The lovely blonde ladies — Stefani Morgan, Lanny Barby, Katie Gold, Katie Morgan, and Shay Sweet — are cheerleaders with dreams of making the national competition. Alas, only the top five teams in the country are invited to compete, and their team came in at number six. The obvious solution is to use some shady family connections to rub out one of the other teams, opening up a slot in finals (but they’ll call the mobster after they take a shower together, of course.)

Mob guy agrees to take out their competition, but it’ll cost five grand and some sexual favors, including getting head from Katie poolside while the others make out for his amusement. Other sex scenes emerge, as it were, organically from the setting — one girl walks in on a squadmate’s brother masturbating and decides to help him out, even asking him to fuck her in the ass. In order to get the money, they resort to various fundraising methods, from an erotic photo shoot to a bikini car wash — which involves pissing on a windshield, something I didn’t expect from such a frothy film. Pissing’s really gone mainstream, it seems, showing up in more and more otherwise non-fetish movies. Then again, bodily fluids in general getting sprayed around fits the crude teen sex comedy template, which is so accurate here that Carwash even includes a jizz-as-hair-gel joke. (And a naked feather pillowfight scene. And a team shower scene, as aforementioned.) Finally there’s a poker game where the stakes involve cocksucking and cunt-licking, but the team makes just enough money to put themselves over the top.

And, yay! They successfully have another team murdered so they can compete at nationals! I only regret that we don’t get to see a bunch of scantily-clad cheerleading squads performing obscene routines, but that’s what the imagination is for. This was a surprisingly fun and funny movie, with some good one-liners, and it really could be a summer teen sex romp where the sex is way more explicit than usual.
