Summary: Not Bad But Not Great
Review: This film is basically a teen comedy about life in a prep school, with a little drama thrown in related to the pressure put on the kids by the school and by their parents. Its main focus is the romantic and sexual fantasies of the students, mainly playboy Rob Lowe and nice-guy Andrew McCarthy. There's a little of "The Graduate" in here and a little "Dead Poets Society" as well, but those are both superior films. I enjoyed watching "Class" and do not dislike it; I just am less impressed with it than others seem to be. It's nice, generally shallow, teen fluff. If you're looking for a light way to pass a dreary afternoon, this might be just the ticket.

Summary: STILL WAITING FOR THE SPECIAL EDITION
Review: This is definately one of the movies that made my personal Top 100 Favorite Movies of All Time! I have always loved watching this movie (have seen it at least 50 times) and have only had one reservation.... Jackie Bissett hated this one because a lot of her scenes were cut from the final film. I want a special edition that puts the whole movie back together again, one that shows more of why she does the things she does... Plus, I am sure that there were more scenes of Rob and Andrew that were cut... sometimes "More is Better", or in this case, "More would make great, greater!" Anyone out there in Hollyrock listing???

Summary: Was popular in 1983
Review: Worth owning for a taste of the sort of films that Hollywood released in droves in 1983. I admit I didn't love it when I first saw it then, because I expected more. And apparently the "more" should have been in it. That's right, this film was cut considerably then, so much so that Jacqueline Bissett felt the cut film did not portray her in the light she wanted. The end product sees her as a scathing nympho with no respect for anyone.

Hopefully, MGM will see fit to re-release this on DVD with the deleted scenes.
