Considering its pedigree the most remarkable thing about this, even with its 'unrated' version is how tasteful it is. One poster mentioned how it compared with the Police Academy movies and in that comparison the Police Academy movies were actually more sexist and racist. Women were objectified in the Police Academy movies far more rather than being participants in their own sexuality and the tokenism of the black characters in the Police Academy movies was blatant while this movie does a much better job of exposing the classist and racist attitudes of higher institutions. A little more work in the script department and another comic talent or two would have helped but considering the average of the recent National Lampoon movies this one raises, not lowers the average.
