Classic 1980s romp starring future political puppy dog Tim Robbins as an egregious frat boy of the Theta Pi Gamma fraternity (or, as they are known to their Iowa State frat rivals,the "Theta Pigs"). Also starring Stephen Geoffreys, future star of homosexual pornography as Wendell Tvedt,the classic 80s supernerd.
On Spring Break in Palm Springs California, midwestern frat animals' hijinks melt the icy winter away as rival fraternity beefcakes compete for the affections of a sophisticated co-ed. An innocent pledge provides the laughs as the "cool guys" try to pull off the big score.
Great flick with deep emotions and a truly flawless screenplay, even though Patrick Swayze is not in the movie.
Leigh McCloskey, of Just One of the Guys fame, plays Charles 'Chas' Lawlor III. Lawlor is the "pride of the Beta Ep's," a rival fraternity,the "bad guys" frat that boasts equally cool-dressed white men.
The most famous scene of the film is when Robbins, in a fit of rage over a stolen car, pirouettes and slaps a pole.
