A very good effort for the 80's
sifounas10616 March 2005
Considering the era and the cultural situation of Greece at the time this movie got released I can only say that it is a very good effort overall. Many elements have a satirical meaning and a metaphor. Some of the jokes that the students put their teachers through are quite clever. To be honest I saw this movie when I was 16 years old and I remember that I laughed my eyes out watching it. It is good, honest humor and emits a light hearted approach on the high-school life. It is certainly not the best production movie, but, on the other hand leaves you with a smile on your face. Another point that is emphasized on the movie is the unity of friendship. A very good effort for it's time, a classic to me. Mind you, on the following years -the kingdom of VHS- this movie was imitated at least 10 times!!!

Defies all laws of nature
nalepis8 June 2001
"There are more things on heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy" said Hamlet. Well, Horatio, get a load of this. It defies all logic that something like this was ever made, that someone raised his middle finger in the face of God and nature in such a manner and got away with it. Just think of a low-brow "Porky's II" (yes, it is possible- this is the proof) crossed with your worse non-supernatural nightmare. You will watch in awe 30-year-olds playing teenagers. You will marvel the fat and bearded and grossly untalented Steve "Billias" Douzos on a moped. You will not believe that a place such as "Disco Barbarella" ever existed. Ed Wood was an auteur compared to Omiros Efstratiadis. This is so out-there, inconceivably, mind-numbingly bad that you will not be able to take your eyes off the screen. Unfortunately, it is in Greek, meaning that you'll never have the chance to have this out-of-body experience. Then again, perhaps this is some divine plan to protect the rest of the world. Who knows?
