Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and now, the party is over for the carefree, pampered, and very white California kid, Mark Watson. As a result, with his self-made millionaire father refusing to pay the tuition to attend the prestigious Harvard Law School, Mark's only hope rests on a full scholarship intended for an African-American applicant, and a bunch of tanning pills. Now, with his curly perm and the dark complexion, Mark can fraudulently make his dream come true; however, has Mark ever considered the ramifications, moral and legal, of his deception?

This is pure '80s fun. So zany and funny. You will laugh and shake your head in disbelief. Having said that, I really wish we had seen more of the blonde hottie who was in the opening scene. She looked like an eye candy. As for the Cosby's reference: ouch.
