Andrew @Toxie Nov 28 SO BORING MOVIE ITS SO BORING See more Robert M Jul 26 Summer School is an absolute gem of a film, a heartwarming and hilarious romp that has truly stood the test of time. From the moment Chainsaw and Dave arrive with their "bad boy" attitudes and surprisingly tender hearts, you know you're in for a treat. Mark Harmon delivers a perfectly understated performance as Freddy Shoop, the gym teacher thrust into the unenviable position of teaching a summer school class filled with the most delightfully quirky misfits imaginable. His journey from reluctant instructor to genuinely caring mentor is both believable and genuinely touching. The film's strength lies in its wonderfully eccentric ensemble cast. Each character, from the perpetually hungry Francis "Pamela" Gremp to the aspiring fashion designer, brings their own unique brand of charm and humor to the screen. The script is witty and genuinely funny, never resorting to cheap gags, and instead relying on clever dialogue and relatable character interactions. What truly elevates Summer School beyond a typical teen comedy is its underlying message of acceptance and finding your place. It celebrates individuality and shows that even the most seemingly disparate group of people can come together and form a strong, supportive bond. The pacing is excellent, keeping the laughs coming while also allowing for moments of genuine character development. The soundtrack is also incredibly catchy, perfectly capturing the optimistic and slightly rebellious spirit of the 80s. This isn't just a movie about kids learning; it's about a teacher learning from his students, and everyone discovering the value of teamwork and believing in themselves. Summer School is a feel-good classic that radiates warmth and positivity, making it a perfect watch for anyone looking for a dose of pure, unadulterated joy.

I had this recorded on vhs tape as a teenager and watched that tape many times. Recently bought the dvd and it still holds up and is a great laugh. See more Steve D 03/04/2023 A lot of it wouldn't fly today but it has its own strange charm. See more 07/26/2022 Oh boy! This has not aged well. There are some problematic elements that I'm sure modern audiences would have a field day with. But for those who grew up with it, or horror fans or those just looking to have fun with a silly 80s comedy, you should be having a great time. See more Read all reviews
