Summer School Movie Review 1987

A high-school teacher's vacation plans are ruined when he gets stuck teaching remedial English in summer school. It seems all these students are interested in is re-enacting scenes from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," learning to drive, and surfing. Actually, one of the better films of this genre, thanks mostly to Harmon's likeability.
