Synopsis His major was attitude… Higher education flies right off the comedy curve in this hilarious fun-fest loaded with "real out-loud laughs" (Los Angeles Times)! Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire) is "well cast and likeable" (Los Angeles Times) in this "splendidly played" (Variety) film that scores top marks for reading, rioting and rock 'n' roll! Palmer Woodrow III (Dana Olson) has everything money can buy... except a high school diploma. And when his parents threaten to cut him off unless he graduates, Palmer decides he'd rather party in Paris - and hire young hustler Eddie Keaton (Nelson) to attend a prestigious prep school in his place! Short on cash and long on debt, Eddie is glad to do it, if just to get away from his bookie, the dangerous Diceman (Andrew Dice Clay). Disguised as the perfect preppy, Eddie easily fools the faculty, charms the coeds and rocks the campus! But when the Diceman tracks him down, streetwise Eddie must keep his cover to stay in school... or go back to the 'hood for good!

Empire Review Judd is back - 2.75 out of 5  (10/29/2001) Yup, the eighties are back in a big way! The last three weeks have seen the release of not one, but two movies starring Judd Nelson, the original bad boy of comedy. Believe it or not, MAKING THE GRADE is the better of the two movies and even that doesn't mean it's that great, but at least this movie also has stirring performances from Andrew Dice Clay and Gordon Jump. Palmer Woodrow III (Dana Olsen) is given an ultimatum from his rich father. He has one year to get a high school   more >>
