Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Sloppily done. It reminded me of a slapped-together '80s comedy more than a few times.

Still, I'm embarrassed to say that it got to me on an emotional level (let me stress that I did NOT find it funny -- ever). I couldn't help but consider the "message" of the movie. I probably got way more out of it than anyone intended! But why does college have to suck so hard? Why must all of the life be drained from most of the classes? I mean, students are going after the thing they're going to spend the rest of their lives doing and school reduces the pursuit to rote memorization and dry lectures.

Yeah, the movie pretty much stinks but it's not completely devoid of worth.
