Mark Harmon is fantastic as Freddy Shoop a lazy surfer beach bum gym teacher who only teaches to get his summers off. He is forced to teach a group of "misfits" during summer school or he loses his job. Simple and easy. But most comedies don't rely on story, it's all about the characters and the situations. This ones got great characters galore. All the students are fully fleshed out characters each with their own stories and situations. From the horror loving goofballs Dave and Chainsaw, Pam the surfer chick, Inkian the nerd, Larry the sleeper, to Anna-Marie the-HOLY MOLY-she's-HOT Italian foreign exchange student, all of them are unique and loveable.

Mark Harmon pulls it all together with a great comic performance. Plus he's great while he tries to win the heart of fellow summer school honors class teacher, Kirstie Alley away from her boyfriend, the vice principal who sentenced Shoop to summer school.

This movie is a classic of the teen/college movie genre. Much like "Sixteen Candles", "The Sure Thing, "Weird Science", "Real Genius", and " Revenge of the Nerds. This is one of the best 80's comedies.

If you haven't seen it, then run, drive over the speed limit, push an old lady out of the way, do anything as fast as you can to see this movie and buy it. It's not out on DVD, so you gotta find a VHS copy.

Hey DVD manufactures...put this out on a special edition 2 disc collectors set with loads of extras like cast commentary, a couple of making of documentaries, a where are they now segement with interviews with the entire cast, deleted scenes, and a long gag and blooper reel. Cause if you don't I will search the four corners of the earth to find you, and if you don't gimme what I've asked for, I will throw the biggest temper tantrum you've ever seen an adult do, and it won't be pretty.

To everyone one else. See this movie and have a blast watching it over and over again, just like me.
