Hot Bubblegum (1981)
7/10
Hot Bubblegum was a funny enough entry in the Lemon Popsicle series
9 October 2023
The first two in the Lemon Popsicle series I saw were dubbed in English. This third one I saw in the original Hebrew with English subtitles. So Bobby is Momo here, Huey is Yudale, and lead Benji is Benzi. Martha is Bracha and Victor from the first one is Foyodor. As before, the continuity from the last one is ignored so once again they're friends who are just out for a good time, meaning to have sex wherever they can get it! This time, Benzi has two girls-Nurit who he's been going out with for a while and Nili who returned from a long trip who previously was involved with Momo. By the way, this Nili is probably not the same one from Lemon Popsicle since she's played by a different actress and doesn't seem to have the same characteristics. There's more slapstick than drama of which some of the most hilarious scenes involve a fine-looking cousin of Benzi's named Freida who gets quite a look from both Benzi and his father, even in front of the mother who's none to pleased, that's for sure! There's also another funny sequence between a female piano teacher and Momo that's basically him doing what a certain presidential candidate claims he gets away with on a certain hidden tape! At least one sequence was also used in the American remake of Lemon Popsicle, The Last American Virgin. When one thinks of it, does the plot of this one make sense, well, no but it provides plenty of laughs, that's for sure! So that's a recommendation of Hot Bubblegum.
