Leave your thoughts about How I Got Into College.
| User ReviewDavid WA MUST for any high student about to start checking out college options. |
| User ReviewKelsey HWhen I was watching this I thought of Better Off Dead, and not until I saw it did I know it was by the same guy! I loved Better Off Dead so it makes sense that I loved this one... It was witty and original and downright hilarious. I adored every part of it. |
| User ReviewScott AWho ever wrote this synopsis has no sense of humor and puts far too much thought into comedies. Get a life buddy. |
| User ReviewAdam CWho ever wrote this synopsis has no sense of humor and puts far too much thought into comedies. Get a life buddy. |
| User Reviewbrian wHilarious 80s flick. Enjoyed seeing all the famous actors way back in the day such as anthony edwards and lara flynn boyle. Very random, but hilarious. |
| User ReviewJason DHmmm, i find it very interesting how someone would actually b soo determined to get inot a college that was not actually a choice of theirs just 2 b with someone that they had being crushing on and who they BARELY spoke 2!!! "This diverting (if very unrealistic) comedy focuses on the exploits of charmingly naive Marlon Browne (Corey Parker), a well-meaning but scholastically average high school student intent upon attendin...( read more read more... )g the same college as the girl of his dreams, his classmate Jessica Kailo (a young, perky Lara Flynn Boyle). To Marlon, Jessica seemingly has it all: looks, intelligence, and sophistication. His dilemma is that she is a far brighter student whose main choice, Ramsey College, seems hopelessly out of his reach, so the awkward but determined Marlon endeavors to get accepted there. But little does Marlon know that Jessica is also struggling with tremendous pressures of her own."--Bryan Reesman |
| User ReviewAdam TI didn't know this was by Savage Steve Holland until just now when I came to review it and saw it on the page. But that makes sense. It's just as good and warmly charming (cheesy) as Better Off Dead. |
| User ReviewKeith RI don't care what critics say. I loved this movie.... |
| User ReviewJeffrey MI have to admit this is a strange movie but I do like it. A good film by Savage Steve Holland, who gave us great comedy films like "Better Off Dead" and "One Crazy Summer". |
| User ReviewRob SThis is sort of the low-rent version of Better Off Dead minus the suicide attempts. The story follows a guy who's trying to get into the same college as the girl he'd had a crush on all through High School. It's got a few of the same supporting players making cameos and producer Savage Steve Holland is also behind this attempt to recreate history. The movie has the same blend of absurd heightened reality and those little skits he's imfamous for mostly involving A & B trying get out of their latest drama relying on the male lead to choose the correct answer ie. If A is in a boat rowing, and B leaves after A by five minutes...blah blah blah. It usually involves A & B getting killed or mamed as a result of the incorrect answer being chosen. The male lead was appealing enough but he didn't have that same sparkle John Cusack had--and he didn't have all that much chemistry with Lara Flynn Boyle who also wasn't quite as likeable. It was cute 80's fare though with more than a few laugh-out-loud moments. |
