Summer School

1987 97 min PG-13 Comedy

At Ocean Front High, what do they call a guy who cuts classes, hates homework, and lives for summer vacations? Teacher.

Sure, here's the rewritten plot: A gym teacher’s summer freebies vanish when he’s stuck teaching remedial English to a crew of slacker misfits. His unorthodox lesson plans—heavy on field trips, light on structure—slowly thaw the class’s apathy. By August, even his most indifferent student is reciting Shakespeare with surprising verve.

Directed by Carl Reiner · Written by Jeff Franklin, David Dashev, Stuart Birnbaum

Starring Mark Harmon, Kirstie Alley, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Dean Cameron, Gary Riley, Shawnee Smith
