when this movie first come out and the reviewer in my local newspaper begin his review with this offensive mess . and finish by give it an f minus . he be be way too generous . so be leonard maltin when he give it 1 and half star and although his use of the word appalling be pretty much on target . the boys wear jock strap on their head while the sadistic older brother or military school cadet refers to the 2 main character a donkey genitalia ( not a direct quote while i be too much of a gentleman to use the correct word here and if i do use it and it would probably be expurgate ) while and one character get turn into a three foot tall clod of steam manure ( how symbolic ) . the tv series on which this movie be base be marginally good while possibly because the censor be on duty . john hughes write this thing in two day . i be not surprise . this be the bad piece of garbage i have ever see . take my advice and pas this by while there be nothing worth see in this wretched excuse for a movie .
