Leave your thoughts about Up the Academy.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIn an attempt to follow National Lampoon, it was the first and only film produced by MAD Magazine. One viewing reveals why. |
| Boston GlobeMichael BlowenI can't remember anticipating the end of a film with such exuberance. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyUp the Academy sets out to offend almost everybody, including women, blacks, homosexuals, Arabs, the military, and so on, but they've all been more efficiently offended by other, better movies. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottUp The Academy is another in the seemingly endless parade of inane teenage comedies. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergI can plainly understand why several involved parties lobbied to get their names removed from this film. |
