It's been a long time since I saw this movie last. Some of the gags were just cheap and skeevy, like when Rodney accidentally walks into the women's dorm and right into the shower room where he opens a curtain to reveal and naked woman. I mean, come on, that's not even sexy. Then he's shown paying off the police officer sent to arrest him. Dang, Hollywood showing its true 1980's colors.
Another anachronism is that Rodney is dating his English professor. That would get her fired in a heartbeat nowadays.
Add to that the ridiculous way all the characters just happen to run into each other whenever the plot requires it...and frankly this is not a well-made film. But, it is fun to see baby-faced Robert Downey jr. And, some of the bits do land. For example, Sam Kinison as a battle-fatigued Vietnam veteran History prof. They should've had more of him!!
***NOT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***
