Up the Creek (1984) is a movie that I recently watched on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows a group of school misfits who are about to get kicked out of school. The only chance they have to graduate is win a raft race against their school's rival.
This movie is directed by Robert Butler (Hill Street Blues) and stars Tim Matheson (Animal House), Stephen Furst (Animal House), Dan Monahan (Porkys), Jennifer Runyon (Quantum Leap) and Julia Montgomery (Revenge of the Nerds).
This movie is essentially a Porkys/Animal House mashup where they try to act like those characters in a new set of circumstances. Stephen Furst Actually felt like he was trying to act like John Beluchi. I will say I loved Bend, Oregon in this. It was beautiful. There's also some classic 80s nudity. Despite the comedic content being inconsistent there's a motorcycle scene that was hilarious.
Overall, this movie is inconsistent with some scene that make you smile and some sequences that are just cheesy and corny. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
