After being kicked out of pilot training, two young men named "Philo Henderson" (Brett Cullen) and "George Bunkle" (Don Most) decide to try their luck at a local stewardess school in the hope of meeting some attractive young ladies. What they don't count on is that this particular school has lowered its standards to such a degree that all of their fellow students are predominantly losers as well. And this creates all kinds of problems for everyone trying to graduate. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this specific movie was essentially a recycled version of "Police Academy" with a few minor tweaks added in order to portray a slightly different setting. There isn't anything really new or original here. Yet having said all of that there are still small bits and pieces of humor here and there that might entertain a viewer on a rainy day. If nothing else it has a few attractive actresses like Mary Cadorette (as "Kelly Johnson"), Judy Landers ("Sugar Dubois") and Julia Montgomery ("Pimmy Polk") to brighten an otherwise lackluster film. Slightly below average.

Philo Henderson (Brett Cullen) can barely see without his contacts or glasses. He and best friend George Bunkle (Don Most) fail out of flight school. George gets them into stewardess school's four week course. Cindy Adams (Corinne Bohrer)'s rich parents bribe her biker boyfriend Snake to send her back to school. Kelly Johnson (Mary Cadorette) is jinxed and caused chaos as a concert drummer. Wanda Polanski (Sandahl Bergman) quits wrestling for a chance at love. Former hooker Sugar Dubois (Judy Landers) is on probation. Pimmie Polk (Julia Montgomery) is bubbly. Jolean Winters (Wendie Jo Sperber) is weight-conscious.Brett Cullen is not good enough to be the comedic lead. To make matters worst, Don Most is the comedic side-kick. The actresses have some characters with comedic potential. Who knows if the girls could have been better on their own. I don't think they're sharp enough either. A few of them have played opposite comedians and Wendie Jo has some skills. The material simply isn't there. This is a weak comedy with no laughs.

"Stewardess School" is one of those movies you THINK you've seen because of the overly familiar title but you haven't. Much like the early "Airports" it's a spoof with a lot of former television actors you may have forgotten...but in this film they all give really good performances. That's why the movie shows up all the time on comedy cable stations. if you're not feeling like rushing right out and renting it, just wait, it'll be on a channel near you shortly. It's fun, innocent and funny but unfortunately got stuck with a title that makes it seem like something it isn't.. Like the nice girl in high school with the bad rep: "Stewardess School" is worth getting to know better.

Without the help of Sherman Hemsley cast as a blind airline traveler in shades, STEWARDESS SCHOOL would have been much worse than a major overseas hijacking on board. This is by far the closest thing to POLICE ACADEMY I've ever seen, and it shows itself among all other rip-offs in its class. Bras and undies don't rescue a sour tasteless comedy! You will most definitely forget this one and stick with Mahoney, Hightower, Jones, and the whole gang in numerous P.A. outings. As the Man said, it should've stayed on the shelf!
