Product Description

The University of Nebraska at Lincoln (UNL) welcomes a motley new student to its campus - notorious rocker Tommy Lee! At the age of 19, Tommy formed Motley Crue, sending him on a meteoric rise to fame and fortune - so who had time for college? Tommy was busy touring the world and living the fast life for two glorious decades. Cut to Tommy Lee today, twice divorced and the single father of two boys. Most men in their midlife crisis buy sports cars and date young women, but Tommy wants something different, something money can't buy: academic redemption. Tommy packs up his bags, kisses his mom goodbye and heads off to UNL, but it won't be class as usual when the new student is Tommy Lee. Like classic "situation comedies," each of the six, half-hour episodes will find Tommy floundering in a new fish-out-of-water situation - quintessential collegiate challenges such as finding his roommate Matt, trying out for the marching band, and cramming for finals in true Tommy Lee fashion with his hot tutor, Natalie, in tow. From executive producers Eddie October (Bands Reunited), dance/electronica legend BT, Richard Bishop and Brad Wyman (Monster).

3.0 out of 5 stars Stinker show... with a HOT BLONDE TUTOR, April 12, 2006

By	Chris Kennison (Jefferson City, Mo United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

6 episodes! That's it? There has to be more.

I surprised even myself when I tuned into this show. There was something about it that drew me in. I guess I tried to imagine Tommy Lee coming to my college when I was there and imagining how INSANE that would have been. Of course that was late 80s & early 90s when Motley Crue was REALLY POPULAR, but still.

Tommy Lee goes to classes, he struggles, his mind wanders, he gets a roommate, they play video games instead of study, he tries to join the band, struggles and then finds his niche and actually plays during the Nebraska Halftime show.

He gets a tutor and... YOWZA!! The tutor is a nice, cute, highly intelligent, brainiac named Natalie Reidman. She's such a looker, you wait around patiently for the moments in the episode when she comes back. Tommy Lee's no dummy. He needs lots of tutoring. Then it really gets good when this girl in one of his classes makes a move on him. I wondered when this was gonna happen.

Then the tutor and the classmate have a study clash.

Then Tommy Lee starts up a fraternity with his roommate. Pledges an Animal House looking bunch of goofballs and... then the season FINALE!!! WHAT!!

As much as it pains me to say it... I wanted more. I wanted more Natalie Reidman. I wanted more hijinks. I wanted to see REAL COLLEGE LIFE. Instead, we saw a scripted... just scratching the surface midseason time waster.

I had hoped that the DVD release would incorporate more episodes or longer episodes or more story, but apparently it is just the same episodes that aired. Frankly, without Natalie Reidman, the hot blonde tutor, I probably wouldn't have kept watching.

Every T.V. show, movie, song or concert sets out to accomplish something. In 6 episodes, Tommy Lee Goes to College accomplished NOTHING. It didn't show us real college life. You can't tell me that Tommy Lee went to Nebraska University for a semester and THIS was all that happened. Besides... in 6 months, all they got was a little over 2 hours of useable footage which was mostly scripted, staged, and mixed with special effects and music montages.

I'm sorry. I just wanted more. I wanted to see what REALLY happened. Not this sugar-coated, made for T.V., scripted bologna.

When it's all said and done, my entire 3 stars goes to Natalie Reidman, the hot blonde tutor, who we'll most likely never ever see again, because she's WAY TOO SMART to pursue any sort of acting career.

The show, on the other hand, was a starless stinker. It could have been great, if they'd chose to tell us THE REAL STORY and the WHOLE STORY!

This was funny when it was on TV so I was glad to see it on DVD. It was just as good as I remembered it being.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's All Very Tongue-In-Cheek, August 29, 2008

By	M. Holmgren (MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This DVD never ever fails to make me laugh. It's so ridiculous that it's just fun to watch. And Tommy is funny and charming in his own way. I'm still glad that I bought this.
