Review:

One of those guilty-pleasure, take it for what it is, so bad it’s good, whatevers. In the wake of the “Police Academy” success, producers Feldman and Meeker—who made the legitimate “The Hitcher” the same year—picked up this script about life at a college university for fast-food franchise wannabes. The focal point is McCloughsky, who though a perennial flunk-out who lives at home, looks like he’s in his mid-30s. He feels a last-ditch effort at an “education” is to attend a screwball Burger University with a group of over-cooked washouts of life. It’s hard to offer an honest review on this, because I first saw it when I was 11. Back then it came off as comic genius, but revisiting it lately I realize how cornball and unrealistic it is. I mean, there’s some good “bad taste” kind of jokes—old woman cussed out in a drive-thru, oral copulation in a Chinese restaurant—but again, most of the humor is in suspension of disbelief. Such as the student turned into a half-chicken, and a black guy “kidnapped” to the school to prove the burger chain isn’t bigoted. Which is one of the areas where it crossed from bad taste to offensive, with a later sequence involving a black policeman being hurled epithets. This leads to an eye roller when said cop returns to join rioters in destroying one of the burger joints. And a BIG line crossed when the group of misfits in unison calls a five-year-old girl a “mother-f***er”. But there’s a good deal of clever puns on gherkins and “eating out”, plus a spirited turn by the Dean of Burgers and some decent T&A. Along with a surprisingly catchy theme song, and a farting sequence that will forever obliterate any other film’s attempts in the rest of the history of cinema. So with the above said, I think you have an idea of what you might be in for.
