Screwballs is a 1983 Canadian teen sex comedy film.
It was inspired by the success of Porky's.
Four male friends at Taft and Adams High School try to see the bare breasts of Purity Bush, the most beautiful girl in school.
Jim Wynorski designed the poster and said he was inspired by MAD magazine.
Variety magazine called the film "a poor man’s Porky’s... full of youthful exuberance and proves utterly painless to watch, but it is so close in premise and tone to its model that negative comparisons can’t help but be drawn."
The film led to a semi-sequel, Loose Screws (1985).
