I can't understand Mad Magazine disowning this movie when it's such a good representation of the humor in their magazine at the time (which I stopped reading about 7th grade). From its conception, this was never going to win any Oscars, but to be honest, I've seen worse movies in this genre. I was 13 when this came out, and at the time I considered it watchable (admittedly, I almost walked out in the middle of the military ball singers scene). Even then, it required a lot of suspended disbelief on my part to accept its depiction of a military school (starting with the haircuts). The production values are pretty low all around, but they most likely didn't have much of a budget to begin with.
How in the world did they get Barbara Bach to star in this?
