Bartleby is a fun loving slacker who gets turned down for every college he applies for, much to the annoyance of his expectant parents.
So, he creates the South Harmon Institute of Technology, and lo and behold, he is accepted.
However, his parents want to see the website, the campus, and the dean. So now he has his friend Sherman build a web page, they lease out an abandoned psychiatric hospital, and they hire Sherman's uncle Ben to be the dean.
The web page was done so well, that hundreds of students show up at the front door, all of which were turned down by other colleges.
Faced with no choice, Bartleby decides to proceed with turning South Harmon into a real college......
Never really had any intention of seeing this movie, but it was a real treat and harks back to the high school movies of the eighties.
Long is great as always and reminds one of Cusack in movies like better off dead and the sure thing. The rest of the cast are okay, but really have nothing on Long.
It loses its pace toward the end, what with all the speeches about equality, and the posh school grates after a while, but with films like this, we always need a bad guy, and we always need a heart warming speech.
well worth seeing though
