Review of Up the Academy (1980) by Generoso F — 25 Mar 2008
Gee whiz Mr. Downey. After National Lampoon scored with "Animal House", Mad Magazine decided to throw it's hat into the raunchy teen comedy ring. My best friend Charlie and I worshiped this movie for a few important teenage boy reasons as we were teenage boys.
.Stacey Nelkin as "Candy" and Barabra Bach as "Bliss", Tom Poston as a lovable pedophile and easily the best soundtrack of any movie from the 1980s...Jonathan Richman, Nick Lowe, Iggy Pop, Cheap Trick, The Kinks, Blondie Blow Up, Lou Reed.
.Obviously, this is where the budget was spent. Ron Leibman, a fine character actor from the 1970s, had his name removed from the advertising and the final credits...Yep, that bad.
