This movie will appeal to those of you who enjoyed the weird humor of Animal
House, but it tries to keep one foot in reality (or at least in the Reality
of Risky Business); while I think you might enjoy it if you enjoy slapstick,
others MIGHT enjoy it from several good performances from the younger actors
in this film (specifically the two playing Samantha and Ted the Geek).  If
the actress who played Samantha was any less talented than she is in this
picture, it would have been a disaster... however, you get to like her so
much that it works pretty well as a human-type movie.  My only complaints
are the ending, which is just a bit too humanizing (of the blond bimbo
girlfriend of Jake's) and too wish-fufilling; however, the latter complaint
is perhaps futile as the whole movie is often an exercise in wish-fufillment.

See it for $2, but some might enjoy it enough for $4 (I think I might've).
