School’s back in session… whether we like it or not. 😎📚☀️

This week on Vintage Cinema Review, we’re heading back to 1987 for Summer School, starring Mark Harmon, Kirstie Alley, Courtney Thorne-Smith, and one of the most unforgettable collections of misfit students in ’80s comedy.

We’re talking Mr. Shoop, Chainsaw & Dave, beach vibes, ridiculous classroom antics, behind-the-scenes facts, favorite scenes, and the big question: Does Summer School still hold up nearly 40 years later?
