Summer School
Mr. Freddy Shoop, the high school coach, 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 there was any justice in the world we'd be seeing reruns of this on TNT every Sunday instead of endless repeats of Sixteen Candles and its ilk

A comic delight... Harmon and Alley are great together

Here are some of Summer School's favorite things: idiocy, illiteracy, irresponsibility, drunkenness, dumbness and debauchery. Piqued?

Okay teen/romantic comedy with pleasant players.

Reiner keeps everything moving while letting Harmon do the heavy lifting as his young co-stars sprinkle the chuckles around.

Summer School might lack a hipster razor edge, but its funnybone personality is larger than life. It's a film I adore for its purity of intentions.

Mr. Harmon has an easygoing attractiveness, but neither he nor anyone else seems comfortable with the film's antic pace. And for all its busyness, this comedy has no real focus, ricocheting from character to character with wearying abandon.

Cliches abound in this silly outing. Not the brightest moment for any of those involved.

The moral is a sweet one: If you try, you never fail. The world is graded on a curve.
January 01, 2000
A comedy so listless, leisurely and unspirited that it was an act of the will for me to care about it, even while I was watching it.

A bit bland compared to Reiner's Steve Martin comedies, but engagingly played.

Another failure in Harmon's attempt to move from TV to the big screen.
