Class (1983 Lewis John Carlino)

Enjoyably bad romantic comedy-drama in which innocent.. Hang on, is this a prep school? Everyone seems too old?

Anyway, innocent student Andrew McCarthy (never the best actor in the world) befriends more worldly Rob Lowe and accidentally is seduced by his mum, Jacqueline Bisset. This was written by Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt. And includes the classic line, 'Well you look like a pretty sensitive turd'.

John Cusack looks so young he could double for Jonah Bobo in Crazy Stupid Love. However he's easily got more presence and acting ability even then than McCarthy and someone should have swapped those two roles over.

It's actually badly edited, which is a very unusual thing to see, and badly directed, and ends on the amazingly bad line 'Your mom called. The dog died.'

Wonderful.
