A Meatballs/Revenge of the Nerds type of film, 31 October 2003
9/10
Author: jomendeziii from Austin, TX

The Movie is well done, the cast has good comedic timing and Miss Dawson shines in her role as the sensitive artist. The cast works well together each highlighting the others presence. It's a good comical farce and a good buy at $14. The perfect afternoon movie when some laughs are in order.
