TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL NIGHT 1: MY TUTOR


So last summer I spotted the ultimate DVD collection for a mere $6.99, the TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL COLLECTION. 12 raunchy teen comedies from the 80s. Yes, 12 movies in one collection. They aren't well known hits, mainly obscure Porky's and Fast Times at Ridgemont High knockoffs. I just had to have it. They are most definitely awful. I decided to dedicate 12 nights to them.


TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL NIGHT 1: MY TUTOR





Just finished this so called gem. So, Bobby is flunking French and the only way he can achieve his father(Kevin McCarthy who was angry old R.J. Fletcher in the Weird Al classic, UHF)'s dream of getting into Yale is if he takes the make-up exam. So his dad hires Terry, the best French Tutor in town, to help Bobby. His dad even tries to bribe Terry into having sex with himself, but for some reason she refuses.

In between French lessons, Bobby and his friends, one of whom... is a pre-Back To The Future "George McFly"(Crispin Glover who is super greasy and has "for real acne" and not fake movie acne), go out on the town and constantly try to "get some".

But of course throughout their French lessons, Bobby and Terry finally break the sexual tension that has quickly built up over the first 15 minutes of the film and Terry teaches Bobby how to be a man. And what 80s comedy isn't complete with a "rich jerk boyfriend" who drives a porche? The rich jerk begs Terry for forgiveness for previously cheating only to end up cheating on her again and being a jerk about it. And he gets his comeuppance by crashing his Porche.

Anyways, Bobby passes the exam and Terry earns a $10k bonus from Bobby's father which makes Bobby accuse her of being a hooker after she decides she wants to go to France(?) without him. Then he stands up to his father, not wanting his dreams of becoming a lawyer, but instead wanting to be an astronomer.

And so they wrap it up rather abruptly in the last 6 minutes with Bobby hooking up with his high school crush and making up with Terry and seeing her off to France.

So this was a pretty shitty film with 6 or 7 different sets of floppy 80s juggs. So . . . Highly recommended!!!
