The objective seems to be to show as many cruel practical jokes, lame-brain jocks, non-stop action, wild orgies, and exaggerated characters as can fit into a 95-minute running time.

Ed Gonzalez, Apollo Guide
Think Animal House meets the Revenge of the Nerds and you have the essence of H.O.T.S.' plot.

An entertaining college themed movie, it's pretty funny, but the story and acting are just so-so. It could have been better.

I don't know how I missed this when I was growing up; I saw everything else like it. Revels in what it is, and so is kind of innocent fun. For a skin flick.

Purely a fun movie that looked for any excuse to show a couple of former Playboy Playmates to run around topless, especially the "Strip" football game at the end.
