Excellent but underrated film

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

On his first day in a new school, gullible young Andrew McCarthy (as Jonathan) is talked into changing into a black bra and panties by preppy roommate Rob Lowe (as Skip), who disrobes to reveal a similar taste in underwear. It's a funny, wildly implausible scene that sets a tone not kept throughout the story. Things will get decidedly more serious. Shortly before the half-hour mark, we receive confirmation that these guys are supposed to be high school-aged prep students; in the opening, Mr. McCarthy appears to be an arriving college underclassman. Naturally, the teen "boys" are interested in pranks and sex...Sensing McCarthy is a virgin, Mr. Lowe urges him to go to town and find a sex partner (it's an all-boys school). McCarthy finds sexy older Jacqueline Bisset (as Ellen). Lucky guy, but there are complications. She's a trifle unstable, married to hard-nosed Cliff Robertson (as Mr. Burroughs), and has a secret that threatens the friendship between McCarthy and Lowe. They are really smart and want to go to Harvard, but another secret will unfold... In the lead role, film-debuting McCarthy manages to both connect with and keep from being upstaged by Lowe (who makes a classy Jesus). All handle the assignment well.****** Class (7/6/83) Lewis John Carlino ~ Andrew McCarthy, Rob Lowe, Jacqueline Bisset, Cliff Robertson

I give this movie two ratings: The serious sex scenes between the mother and Jonathon, a 2 The hilarious school scenes with Jonathon and Skip, a 10I love all the school scenes: When Jon comites "suicide", when Skip tells the story of how he killed a person, the first scene when Jonothan wears a bikini and the scene when the kids are trying to shove pot down the sink and toilet(one guy actually tries to put a pot plant down the sink) All the sex scenes are retarded. REALLY boring. I literally fast forwarded those partsI really love this movie even though some of it is real stupid, plus Rob Lowe is beautiful, so it makes it worth while

this movie is worth to see Andrew McCarthy and Rob Lowe. i mean the movie is of course fun ,but yeah pretty uneven . well anyway i love Andrew and Rob in this movie looks pretty hot . and there also john Cusack and other which is cool enough . and Andrew did th scene with Jacqueline on elevator pretty fine , Jacqueline looks very nice in this movie too . and those star are doing very well in those dramatic scenes , funny scenes. the costume is okay not that old and perfectly for the movie . well this is worth for whom that loves brat pack star movie ( such as i am ) . especially the fans of Rob or Andrew shouldn't' t missed this 1 i recommend it !

I guess I first saw this on cable, complete with all the curse words.
I last saw this on ABC Family, where Disney's ludicrous voice overlays censored out the dirty words. These overlays transformed this light drama into pure comedy. Watching the Disney's overdubbed version, I laughed loud at the dramatic moments. Seriously loud laughter where the original director intended something else. I was transported from the experience of watching the movie to the experience of producers and lawyers and sound/film editors arguing over how best to convert a four letter word into something the Whole Family© will enjoy.That's not to say that the "dramatic moments" of this thing were anything but predictable. Class is little more than fluff, but it's fun and well acted. It's a good-when-you're-tanked story, with entertaining performances by then-young actors we now know for other things.This is a good teenage boy angst fantasy romp, and at best it ends with ... well, no spoilers, I guess. But that was a sudden ending, wasn't it.
