Disney and it starred Leslie Nielsen. I bought it within 3 minutes of find ing that out. Well, let’s talk about his classic I love:

How I Got Into College

A theme of all my movies I love to write about is that they’re set in the 80s. This one is about two high school kids in Michigan who are trying to get into college. The first kid is Marlon: your average student. Nothing out of the ordinary and nothing exceptional. But let’s go to the second student: Jessica. She is the class president, a popular girl, with many options. Her parents want her to go to their alma mater, the University of Michigan. She prefers Ramsey College, a smaller school in Pennsylvania. And Marlon just wants to go where Jessica goes, thinking he has a better chance… out of the high school drama and with her at that school. The movie then goes about the ups and downs of trying to get accepted into a college in the 80s. But let’s talk about the two students. Marlon is played by Corey Parker. Not a huge star, but has been in a bunch of fun movies from my youth. Friday the 13th the New Beginning and Big Man on Campus are highlights for me. He kind of went behind the scenes and became a great acting coach, having worked most recently on Disney’s Ms. Marvel. And Jessica is played by the beautiful Lara Flynn Boyle. She has had an absolute killer career. This is her second film, so you can tell she is going to be a star. She filmed this flick while filming Poltergeist 3 , so this is technically her second flick. She was in so much. She is Stacy in Wayne’s World , Serlenna in MIB 2 , and not to mention her TV accolades. Donna Heyward in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks in ‘90. Wow, I am getting old. And 100+ episodes on The Practice. But here she and Corey are figuring it out, but it is a gem. Like I said earlier they are trying to get themselves in Ramsey, and while Jessica has a great shot, Marlon not so much. But Marlon has ambition, and that is where I will leave this on the plot. So I tackled the two main actors but the rest of the cast is amazing. Let’s start with one of the Ramsey College admission board members. The first is Kip Hammet, he is a Ramsey College alumni and wants to diversify the admission pool. He is played by the wonderful Anthony Edwards. I will always know him as Gilbert from Revenge of the Nerds , but I am always reminded he is one of the stoners from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He also was amazing on ER where I believe he was in 180 episodes. I am sure that the syndication check is solid. Next is another alumnus turned admin istrator, Nina, played by Finn Carter. I only know her from Tremors where she plays Rhonda, and looking her up, she kind of didn’t do much in films after those two. A cool fact is she was married to Steven Weber during her acting days and when they divorced she kind of disappeared. Let’s round off the administrators of Ramsey College. The hard-ass Leo Whitmann, who only wants the best of the best. He is played by Charles Rocket. He was a pretty solid background actor in tons of flicks, but I recall him being the
