Classic 60s/70s College Humor, Trip Down Memory Lane!

Created: 20/04/09
If you saw this movie, or any of the "related" Disney college antic flicks back in the late 60's / early 70's you'll remember laughing to a very young Kurt Russell (way before his bad boy Snake Pliskin and Grindhouse days) and Ceasar Romero (post Joker days). Simple plot, moves quickly to a classic Disney happy ending satisfying all. Well worth the price for a trip down nostaligia lane, or as a chance to introduce your children to some wholesome good laughs. Laughs: A-, Plot: B, Overall Value: B+

Great movie!

Created: 04/07/06
Loved it as a kid and now my kids are enjoying it. We watched it as a family and really had fun with the adventures that Kurt goes through. The acting is fun and the story line is very funny. This movie is more for 2nd grade on up. Great Disney entertainment.

Neat movie

Created: 09/04/07
I got this for grandkids (2 boys, ages 6 and 8).
They liked it enough to watch it at least three times.

Even though it's a bit dated, it still held up
pretty well in comparison to all of the modern
ultra-hi-tech stuff.

I recommend it for anyone.

Enjoyed the movie as a child. Good, clean, fun. We need more movies like this made today, without the unnecessary bad language, sex, etc.
