"We created a monster."
12 May 2012
Some of these films stand out more so than others, but this mid 80s college / teenage sex comedy attempt "Fraternity Vacation" doesn't do a whole to stay in one's memory when compared to most of these type of films. Little is talked about it, as for most part it's rather uninspired and tame, outside the best cheeky sequence involving Barbra Crampton and Kathleen Kilmont getting their kits off. Instead the raunchiness that could have erupted tended to focus more so being soft- hearted led by its charmingly gawky and honest performance by Stephen Geoffrey's. Along for the summer time fun in Palm Springs is some familiar faces with a great ensemble cast in Tim Robbins, Cameron Dye, Sheree J. Wilson (who simply looks gorgeous), Amanda Bearse, Matt McCoy and the rib-tickling John Vernon as the town's stringent sheriff. The jokes are familiar and the scenarios predictable in its premise of the frog getting his princess, but the script is witty enough, pacing moves at a fast clip and the cast etch out amusing performances.

"We do everything together."
