They don't make comedies like this anymore!


This is a very funny and original movie. In today's cookie-cutter , formula-ridden entertainment industry , I'm so happy to see a film like this. I've seen this film several times and no matter how many times I see this film it's as entertaining as the first.They don't do comedy like this anymore , and that's a shame. Very good and entertaining film!

The football game was hilarious.

And I think "Not ANother Teen Movie" and the "Scary Movie" series are parodies that also have the same 'feel'

I was one of the few who ACTUALLY SAW THIS FILMS THEATRICAL RELEASE IN 1981!
i was 18 and saw it at a DRIVE-IN movie (of all obsolete places) in a suburb of Chicago!! Myself and about 10 of my friends loved it so much we quickly snagged a VHS copy and watched it religiously for several years. Why this film was not more successful i dont know and i find it so odd that nearly all it's actors never went on to work in any other films?. FUNNY * FUNNY * FUNNY! This parody on Teen horror films should become a cult classic. I'd love to see it a again. I'm im now 40 and my sister and i STILL quote lines some 23 odd years later!

I agree. Today's comedies tend to be way too formulaic and sitcomish. This movie had a truly inspired sense of lunacy to it ala "Airplane."

300 bios and counting.
