Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Not nearly as raunchy as some of the other teen exploitation films that came out around the same time, Summer School is a feel-good movie in which all the characters are clueless, but also kind of likeable for some inexplicable reason. Mark Harmon stars as Freddy Shoop, a lazy physical education instructor who is forced by his nemesis (aka The Principal) to teach summer school. He's not lucky enough to get the overachiever kids who attend summer school because they want to; Shoop gets the students who have to attend because they've failed. As you might expect, his class is full of lazy losers who don't think of summer school as real school. Actually, Shoop kind of agrees with them. He's not as irresponsible as he would have them believe, although he's not above bribing them to do their best. Released theatrically in 1987, the film stars a very young Courtney Thorne-Smith (Melrose Place, According to Jim) as one of the students. And Kirstie Alley (Cheers) appears as Shoop's love interest. Directed by Carl Reiner, Summer School has an almost innocent feel. It's the silly movie trying to pass itself off as naughty, but really it's not. Summer School was released before filmmakers knew they needed to save good outtakes and bloopers for DVDs, so the special features aren't all that special. The most appealing is footage of some of the cast members while the film was being shot. But if you're curious about listening to the audio commentary offered by Harmon and Reiner, take a pass. Though both men are charming on talk shows, neither is particularly insightful here. --Jae-Ha Kim

What a classic movie. The mid-80's produced some classic movies. And this, of course, is one of them. I never had the (un)fortunate pleasure of Summer School myself, but if I had had to do it, I would have wanted it like this. Ok, maybe not. But, what a hilarious movie about a bunch of H.S. "misfits" who get stuck in that most dreaded "Summer School".
This is just a great excuse to watch a movie. A bunch of classic scenes. Well worth the watch.

The usual formula is: take a shared teen experience and people it with stereotypes, show kids being smarter than the adults...yadda yadda. Summer School has a lot of this fluff but thank God it also has Mark Harmon who gives a believable performance as an aging and good-natured surfer who's forced to teach over his favorite months. And I'm a sucker for any film that portrays this profession with so much optimism.
Never mind the fact that he lives in a million-dollar beachfront bungalow, ... Read More

Everybody knows SUMMER SCHOOL is an 80's classic, so I'll skip the review and tell you what the "Life's a Beach Edition" features are.
A 2.35:1 widescreen transfer compared to the original DVD's 1.78:1, a trailer, a stills gallery, a boring audio commentary with director Carl Reiner and Mark Harmon and two short featurettes.
The first featurette: "Inside the Teachers Lounge" (14 min.) stars writer Jeff Franklin, director Carl Reiner and cast members Mark Harmon, Patrick Labyorteaux, ... Read More

Oboy, I remember this film. Coming out in 1987, I saw SUMMER SCHOOL in the theater when I was a teen, and I remember laughing quite a bit. And even now the movie holds up well. With People magazine voting Mark Harmon 1986's Sexiest Man Alive, Paramount was quick to take advantage by casting him as the slacker lead of this sun-drenched teen/romantic comedy. Of course, it doesn't hurt to also have director Carl Reiner and three beautiful ladies (Alley, Thorne-Smith, and Fabiana Udenio) providing backup. And, for ... Read More

I never equated Summer School with anything remotely raunchy, so I was surprised to see that term brought up in the top review here in regard to this movie.
I loved watching this when it was first on cable nearly twenty years ago and I look forward to watching this again real soon. I enjoyed Mark Harmon's and Kirstie Alley's performances, and seeing the star review reminded me of Courtney Thorne-Smith's performance back when she was an unknown (I always love looking at, or thinking about, movies from ...
