Review:
I don't think my expectations were TOO high before watching this movie, but while watching it.. I realized.. it is really, really bad. :/ I had never seen it during my teen years, and maybe if I had seen it then, I would like it more now, but I don't think so.. :/

It was a good beginning role for Tom Cruise, I'll give him that. And a lot of the actors in the movie go on to become well known (even if only in nerd-roles).

The storyline is bland and dull. Comparing this to other movies of its time, Porky's, Risky Business just doesn't come close. Some parts are really funny and good, but only here and there, and it wasn't enough to keep the movie afloat.
It isn't all it is cracked up to be.
I didn't like it. :/
