Always Loved This Movie But the DVD Sucks!
Okay, I know this movie is twenty years old. I know in the 80's it was ignored. I know it's not the best film but I enjoyed it.I also know I should be glad it's even available on DVD in the first place but the DVD was pathetic. I am surprised they offered the trailer but no special features whatsoever? Even films from the 50's and 60's that are on DVD have commentary. I wanted to see old interviews and updates about the stars, especially Jonna Lee who I haven't heard of since the 80's. I used to love Judd Nelson and first saw this film when I was barely four. The DVD should have offered commentary from Judd Nelson ( it's not like he has anything better to do these days ) or at least Andrew Dice Clay. Something! I am sick of studios shoving out DVDs that cost fourteen dollars and sticking you with an unclear muffled trailer, no commentary, no special features...nothing! Judd Nelson made his film debut in this movie and he did a damn good job. Now why couldn't the DVD live up to that?
The four stars are for the film. I give one star for the DVD version.
The Best 80's Comedy EVER!!
For the longest time the cinematic treasure was not available on DVD, and I had to scower the internet for copies of this film on VHS. It was worth the time, effort and money because the is a GREAT film.
If you remember the 80's then be prepared to laugh uncontrollably. The Preppies in the movie will seem over the top to many, and maybe they are slightly, but not as over the top as you would think. This is so funny to see the pink and green, the terrible nicknames, and the pomposity of wealth at it's highest.
The cast is terrific, the writing is excellent and the movie is hilarious. It stars Judd Nelson, in his very best role as the punk that a rich snob pays to go to an elite and very preppy boarding school. Andrew Dice Clay appears in the film, I think his very first on screen appereance, and he does the Dice character that he will repeat later on to much fame and fortune. Luckily for the viewer he also does in much funnier here then he did later on. Dana Olsen plays the rich kid who pays Judd Nelson, and after watching this film you will wonder why he never made it big. He was laugh out loud funny. The rest of the supporting cast is terrific too. BUY THIS NOW! You will not regret it. Especially if you remember the early 80's and you read The Preppy Handbook. Then this film is a must see!!!
