The question that gets you as you watch Test Tube Teens from the Year 2000 is what the heck is a gay director doing directing straight softcore erotica? The only real answer that you can arrive at is that DeCoteau was just doing a job.
DeCoteau even goes so far as to dub cartoon whee and tweeting sounds over the action at various points, which surely gives all evidence that this is not a film taking itself in the slightest seriously.Īs mentioned, one of the peculiarities about David DeCoteau that only became apparent several years after this is that he is a gay director. She was apparently not happy with the film and sent an angry letter to Charles Band – one can only presume it was with the addition of the softcore scenes as surely the ridiculousness of the script should have been evident to anybody with a functioning brain cell in their head. Morgan Fairchild gives a campy performance. There is a lame parody of The Terminator (1984) with a Don Dowe as a chubby time-travelling cyborg affecting a fake Schwarzenegger accent before hooking up with Morgan Fairchild and driving off with her on a motorcycle in the concluding scenes. The two guys have barely arrived back in the present when they are outfitted in drag, including Christopher Wolf with a ridiculous oversized beehive hairdo larger than his head having to fend off professor Ian Abercrombie coming onto him. Thomas Howell adopts blackface to go to college. Most of the film plays out a like a bad version of a 1980s comedy – think something like tv’s Bosom Buddies (1980-2) and the films He’s My Girl (1987) and Nobody’s Perfect (1990) where guys are forced to dress as girls or even Soul Man (1986) where C. (l to r) Time-travelling teens Christopher Wolf and Brian Bremer in drag in a girls’ boarding school That said, Test Tube Teens from the Year 2000 avoids any of these questions for the simple reason it is not a film interested in taking anything that happens seriously. You can guarantee this is a world where there is a heck of a lot of illicit sex. Not to mention, the question of how does such a society would reproduce – not even the most extremes conservatives who believe in no sex before marriage would consider banning all sex – although presumably this is explained in the title ‘test tube teens’. You kind of wonder how such a society ever came into being and why there weren’t riots against the notion. Test Tube Teens from the Year 2000 is not exactly a film that has a believable premise – a world where sex has been banned.

By the late 2010s, even the market for that appears to have dried up and DeCoteau now seems to specialise in Christmas tv movies and Lifetime Channel thrillers.
