Remember that time in American history when bookworms were thought of as lesser beings, instead of getting television programs dedicated to their intelligence? Well, we still laugh at them in The Big Bang Theory, but it's a different type of laughter than in the first half of the twentieth century. Check out any old movie, and it'll show the smart students wearing glasses and reciting embarrassingly silly factoids before tripping and falling flat on their face. Meanwhile, the jock has his arm around a pretty girl and flexes his muscles. If you get majorly offended by those attitudes or movies, don't rent College. Try Sherlock, Jr. for some Buster Keaton fun instead.
In College, Buster graduates at the top of his high school class, but his girlfriend isn't impressed. Anne Cornwell prefers jocks, so she dumps Buster before college. Poor Buster-if only he was physically coordinated. . .
So, Buster applies to the same college and tries out for several different athletic teams to win Anne back. The hilariousness of the film comes in Buster's ineptitude; the master stuntman has to act like an uncoordinated weakling! There are some very funny sequences that show him struggle in the athletic department, so if you're a fan of his impressive stunts, you should check out this cute comedy. And, as most Buster Keaton movies have a famous sequence that distinguishes them from the others, you can look forward to an exciting rowing scene when he joins the rowing crew. The ending of this movie is also pretty famous, and very cute. As I can't spoil what happens, you'll just have to rent it!
