Summary: Another '80s Drive-in Classic!
Review: I was surprised to see this movie available on DVD. It was a long time since I had seen this movie, and viewing it again brought back some great memories from the '80s. Judd Nelson plays a street kid that switches places with a rich guy, and goes to Prep School for him. Lots of Preppies, and laughs are what this movie is all about! This classic was a Golan & Globus Production, which also gave us movies like "Breakin'", and "Invasion USA" If you like '80s teem comedies, this one is a "must have" for your collection.

Summary: Always Loved This Movie But the DVD Sucks!
Review: Okay, I know this movie is twenty years old. I know in the 80's it was ignored. I know it's not the best film but I enjoyed it.I also know I should be glad it's even available on DVD in the first place but the DVD was pathetic. I am surprised they offered the trailer but no special features whatsoever? Even films from the 50's and 60's that are on DVD have commentary. I wanted to see old interviews and updates about the stars, especially Jonna Lee who I haven't heard of since the 80's. I used to love Judd Nelson and first saw this film when I was barely four. The DVD should have offered commentary from Judd Nelson ( it's not like he has anything better to do these days ) or at least Andrew Dice Clay. Something! I am sick of studios shoving out DVDs that cost fourteen dollars and sticking you with an unclear muffled trailer, no commentary, no special features...nothing! Judd Nelson made his film debut in this movie and he did a damn good job. Now why couldn't the DVD live up to that?The four stars are for the film. I give one star for the DVD version.

Summary: You have to be in the right mood..
Review: This is a funny screwball prep-school comedy; most plot devices are pretty standard but it is amusing nonetheless. Of course it is one of Judd Nelson's first movies, and although there are no surprise endings here, it is a fun way to spend a couple of hours. Andrew Dice Clay shows up for a while, harkening back to an era when his film presence wasn't poison (pre MTv ban). Overall an enjoyable movie.

Summary: preppie and not preppie
Review: This is one of the best comedy movies from the 1980's!
I remmeber watching it when I was 14 in 1984 on cable with my friends and we were laughing like mad. I am 34 and still can watch it over and over again (well over 3 times a year).
There are many jokes that you may not "notice" until having viewed it several times.
Yeah, some of the music and score is pure early 80's sounding.
But, nothing else is less than great comedy that places this film as a classic -- one that not many know even exist.
Thus, it is a Classic worthy of a following.
Yo Muffy! Yo? Now that is not preppie . . .
