1987 - SUMMER SCHOOL, a very mild comedy

The director Carl Reiner a fairly funny writer and director somehow got mixed up with this very mild comedy.

 The plot is about a bunch of low performing high school students stuck in summer school after flunking out during the school year.  The teacher is pretty boy Mark Harmon playing a gym teacher tricked into teaching them for the summer.

 

There are a few amusing moments with a couple of obsessive high schooldorks who are completely into the film Texas Chainsaw Massacre and for the most part the cast is decent enough to make a lot of the underdeveloped comedy work.

This is one of those films where the kids and teacher learn lessons about life on the way to being better citizens etc.  An OK time killer but don't expect to much from this film.

97 minutes, written by Jeff Franklin.
