A boyish cop goes back to high school to do some undercover investigating after his little brother is charged with murdering a teacher.
A cut above the run of the mill 80’s teen comedy. With a very particular offbeat flavor undoubtedly due to Martha Coolidge, who had previously directed that other idiosyncratic 80’s gem Real Genius. Great cast.
