This film is one of the best college pictures to come out of the 80's. Val Kilmer was totally cool. Even better than when he was Batman. The other actors fare well as well. It is a college film but at the same time so much more. You have to watch this it is brilliant.

My new favorite movie! I've always been a huge 80s fan. I think this one ties with The Goonies for 1st place. The funny thing is . .. . they both came out the same year!
