Three of the hallmarks of education in America -- nudity, teenage sex, and big, destructive gags -- are on plentiful display in this een comedy. Christine (Phoebe Cates), a student at an exclusive all-girls private school, is in love with Jim (Matthew Modine), who attends an academy for boys nearby. Christines archrival Jordan (Betsy Russell) also has her eye on Jim, and she is willing to do whatever she can to steal him away. Jims über-slob buddy Bubba (Michael Zorek) is going with Betsy (Kathleen Wilhoite), Christines cynical friend, though he would probably be unfaithful if any other woman were willing to get near him. Bubba and his pals sneak into the girls school dressed in drag in hopes of reaching the Promised Land (better known as the womens shower room), while Christine and Jim run away together for the weekend, though their escapade isnt as romantic as they had hoped. Among the adults observing the chaos are Ray Walston, Fran Ryan, Martin Mull, and Sylvia Kristel; one of the sexy students on display is future scream queen Brinke Stevens. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
