Up the Academy (1980)
The education they got wasn't in books.
Starring Ralph Macchio, Wendell Brown, Tommy Citera
Directed by Robert Downey Sr.
This puber-comedy is a kind of mixture between 'Animal House' and 'Police Academy'. Four boys are sent, for different reasons, to a the Sheldon R. Wienberg military academy. The life of dicipline asks a lot of the four geeks. Of course these boys know how to make a party out of the hard times. Will they be 'real men' after one year? Written by Evert Poppen
