Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

gavin6942 A high-school gym teacher has big plans for the summer, but is forced to cancel them to teach a "bonehead" English class for misfit goof-off students. Fortunately, his unconventional brand of teaching fun field trips begins to connect with them, and even inspires ardor in some.If I am not mistaken, this is from the creator of "Full House". At least, that's what I think of when I hear "Jeff Franklin". And it certainly has some of that sitcom type humor about it, as this film is obviously not set in a reality I have been a part of.Interestingly, I was directed to the movie by Rue Morgue magazine, which is for horror films. And they were not wrong to point me -- the love of "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" is evident, along with a few great effects shots, the praise for Rick Baker, the casting of Shawnee Smith (even if she was not yet a horror queen). Heck, even a score from Danny Elfman, who I more typically think of as Tim Burton's guy, even though he's really worked with just about everyone by now.

Neil Welch Summer School is a pleasant teen comedy about a teacher who is forced to take a summer school class of slackers who have screwed up their last school year. They don't want to be there, he doesn't want to be there, they try to get out of it, he tries to chat up another teacher....It is gentle, routine stuff. Mark Harmon does well, as does most of the cast.For me, the movie is spoiled by Dean Cameron, who lent his never-funny presence to a number of raunchy-ish comedies in the nineties. He seems to have a vocal fan base who love what he does here: I have to say that I didn't. And don't. And ditto everything else I have ever seen him in (and as someone who rented a lot of videos in the nineties, I have seen him in a lot of movies!).

angnizzle I love, love, love the film Summer School. It is one of my favorite movies, and I love 80s movies. My favorite characters in this film is chainsaw and Dave. They love horror movies just like me, and have Freddie Kruger on their locker, and I love Freddie. Also i met Shawnee Smith, she was at a horror convention. Whoever hasn't seen this movie has to see it. Trust me you'll love it just like i do. First of all great cast, great director. I love Dave because he is from Stand By Me, and he met Corey Feldman, and I just love him. Another thing R.I.P. to Gary Riley the guy who played Dave. He has just died from a major car accident. I loved him. Sorry I'm such a movie freak, cant help it, but don't feel like typing all of my favorite movies. Love everybody from Summer School, and great job.

ILoveCheapHorrorFlix Jethro Gibbs he is not in this movie. Mark Harmon is an all around fun grown up who hasn't grown up. Even though this movie was filmed in the 80s, the only real way to tell was Pam's uncles awful mullet, a bit of clothing, and the free sunglasses. This movie could've been filmed yesterday and you probably wouldn't even notice. Courtney Thorne-Smith is painfully sexy, Kirsty Allie coming in second. The acting is surprisingly good, and there are minimal obvious errors and goofs. This movie is fun, easy to watch, and a real "brighten up your day" kinda film. Mark Harmon, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Kirsty Allie, and Wonder Mut...all on the beach. What more could you want? Thumbs up twice for this gem!
