A sexy parody of "The Blair Witch Project" (No, not really), May 3, 2002
Yes, I should have known better. I stumbled across this film on a movie channel late one night and for some reason thought this might be an interesting parody of "The Blair Witch Project." Four sorority sisters head into the mountains to do a class video project on the legendary Bare Wench and I immediately start rethinking my working hypothesis on what is up with this film. There is Nikki Fritz as Nikki, Julie K. Smith as Chloe, Lorissa McComas as Lori, and Antonia Dorian as Toni. Fritz, star of "A Ferret in My Bathwater" (how on Earth did I ever miss that one?) is the lead character here, with more brains than the rest of the group put together, a fact which is proven repeatedly. As their faithful idiot companion is Lenny Juliano as Lunk, who gets ample opportunity to leer at four pairs of bare breasts but not much else. Julie Strain makes an appearance as the title character who inspires lust in those who climb her mountain at the film's less than thrilling climax.
There are two reasons for seeing this film and neither one of them really pans out. There are lots of scenes of the girls running around topless and rubbing up against each other, but nothing particularly memorable. The specific parody elements consist of finding sex toys out in the woods, an obvious twist on the famous camera shot of Heather, and the game of hopscotch. Most of the film is shot with a hand held camera, in the spirit of the original, which at one point when everyone is running screaming through the woods actually made me physicall ill. I stuck around for the end to see how lame the final punch line was going to be and discovered that the funniest and best part of the movie are the end credits, which have outtakes of the bonfire scene. It seems that no power on earth can get Antonia Dorian to say the line "I used a piece of paper." Watch it in total amazement as she gets the line wrong time after time, and if she is even in the ballpark, immediately messes up the next line. Finally you hear director Jim Wynroski, having given her the line several times, laugh and say, "I'm just going to put all of this at the end of the film. It's going to be two-and-a-half hours long." Thankfully, this is not the case.
FYI: Apparently there are sequels to this 1999 film: "Bare Wench Project 2: Scared Topless" (which is, I guess, the same as "Book of Babes: Bare Wench 2) from 2001 and the upcoming "Bare Wench Project 3: Nymphs of Mystery Mountain." Consider this fair warning.

Could not be better!, August 13, 2000
This movie couldn't be more sexy or more hilarious. I liked The Blair Witch Project but this movie was a lot more fun & easy on the eye. Nikki,Julie & Lorissa are absolute knockouts! The other girl was not to shabby either. Even girls that are not to uptight about watching T&A movies will find it very funny. Sorry Heather Donahue but, Nikki Fritz out did you on this sleeper. Even the guy called Lunk was funny. If you like any of the four girls in this show you will want to own this soon to be classic. The part where Julie does the(I'm sorry for everything scene) is worth the price!

cute girls- bad movie, March 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bare Wench Project (DVD)
If you are looking for a few girls to flash their tops for a few seconds and then the camera focusing on this really fat ugly comedic character, this may be the movie for you. The camera is hardly ever on the girls more than a few seconds and the strip scene is ruined by it beinf shot in the dark and through a huge roaring fire. Do not waste your time with this movie. There are much better ones of this genre out there.
