HEre's another great mindless comedy from the 80's. It such a shame they can't make movies like this anymore. Members of rival fraternities show up at Palm Springs for Spring Break. They make a thousand dollar bet on who can make it with the 'dream girl'. One decides to play a suicidal love-stricken romantic, the other a fitness guru. Both strike out, but have 'proof'.

Along for the ride is Wendyl. He's the astrology geek who ends up with the babe. But not before he gets involved with Amanda Bearse who's father is the town sheriff.

This movie has all the things that make 80's movies so great, a light plot, sex, nudity, low-brow humor, and doing things that would get you arrested today, but back then seemed innocent enough. Movies like this never won any awards, but they live forever to remind us of how much fun the 80's were.

Fraternity Vacation is an excellent movie. I love this film. Stephen Georffeys is excellent as Wendell Tvedt, as well as Amanda Bearse. All the actors are well casted. Cameron Dye as Joe and Tim Robbins as Mother are hilerious and are well paired as buddies. Sheree J. Wilson is excellent and charming. It's nice to see Barbara Crampton and Kathleen Kinmont in their somewhat small roles. With this movie, you just have fun. It's funny, there's some romance and a little bit of nudity, if your Barbara Crampton and Kathleen Kinmont fans-you'll love it. This film is a classic in my opinion.

Just an average teen flick, but it reminds me of spring break in Palm Springs before they shut it down. It was starting to get crazy early 90's. I was hoping to get the original artwork but that's okay, I enjoyed the movie again! Thanks!!!

Loved it when it came out, and I still love it now. It came quick and in great condition.

It was a first american teen comedy legally purchashed in USSR and even after 15 years it still stands amazing. Simple, nice, gentle and funny. Hollywood isn't able to make such films anymore...

I was expecting more based on the reviews on Amazon. Fraternity Vacation is Not a teen Sex Comedy and is extremely tame especially for 1985! I am 35 years old and remember watching this in my early teens on USA up all night. It was censored but this is the same movie minus a little and I mean little, nudity. A good cast Cameron Dye, (What happened to him?), Stephen Geoffreys, and a kind of young Tim Roth. However Not too many laughs a goofy dream girl plot that goes nowhere and what you have is a PG-13 fun silly 80's teen film. In the UK this might have got a PG, but especially when I was young as is now one scene of Boobs and you have an R-rating in the US. In Europe they don't mind the nudity as much but give harder ratings for the violence, I agree 100 percent with that premise! The United States is the exact opposite! Overall this is a standard silly teen comedy I enjoyed at 12 years old but not so much now. It's not bad with such a great cast, it can be fun, just don't expect anything past a good old fun but very mild teen Comedy/Romance. ..............I recommend These 80's teen sex comedy's.............Look for all of them especially the first it's the late 80's hidden jem T&A Jackpot! 1) Summer Job (Only available on VHS but this is the very best of the late 80's T&A films and is funny as well. This has Hot girls including a natural breasted and you Amy lynn Baxtor is her first movie! More nudity than a strip club, killer soundtrack and it's a party in itself! Highly Recommended! 2) Spring Break (Directed by Sean Cunningham 83') 3) The Beach Girls 4) Private school (Private school for girls, AKA) 5) The Last American Virgin, this is loaded but has a Sad ending that stops it from being a masterpiece, bad Idea by the director! 6) Loose Screws 7) Screwballs 8) There's alot more everybody Knows "Revenge of the Nerds", What a Classic! I hope Everybody forgets as I have "Porkys" A movie I hated and still do, Get the original for the shower Scene and that should cover it. I'm a comedian and the laughs are forced, they laugh uncontrollably and unrealistically at themselves more than you will! Can't wait rip apart this series in a separate review! .............If you can get your hands on old HBO/Cinemax movies nobody can find, (I'm getting there) good job!

Fraternity Vacation is a wonderful Movie,I have the dvd,For these Fraternity Guys,life is BEER,BABES And WILD PARTIES,But on Vacation They Really Cut Loose :P

As a college student, I find this movie to be a riot! It's your typical college fantasy (frat guys at the beach with ony 1 thing on their mind) and I think it provides a comic relief that is so far from reality it gives everyone something to daydream about. Tim Robbins and the entire cast are great in it, and I think it should be recognized more often.

Steven Jeffries is the man. I wonder what happened to him. This movie is a typical 80's movie but that's what makes it so bad it's good.

I really enjoyed the movie and I think that it would be good for an adult to watch it with some friends but not get the wrong idea that its all for sex or only to look at the naked women. I think that it is a good comedy movie with some romance on the side.

I also enjoy the fact that the beautiful women who plays on walker the tv show is on the movie. Sheree makes the movie better to watch. If I like an actress or actor that makes me want to watch the movie better and more.
