DVD Synopsis

With a plot that is a cross between a teen, low-brow farce and a coming-of-age story, Class opens with scenes of two best friends -- nerdy whiz Jonathan (Andrew McCarthy) and carefree jock Skip (Rob Lowe) -- going around in lingerie; they also barf on a double date, break into a quiet meeting at a girls' school, and generally behave as emotional throwbacks. But when the nerd Jonathan is picked up in a Chicago bar by Skip's mother Ellen (Jacqueline Bisset), the tone changes completely. The affair between the student and the older woman is torrid until they rendezvous in New York and Ellen dumps Jonathan because she finds out he is not a Ph.D. candidate from Northwestern University. Meanwhile, Jonathan does not know who Ellen is until Skip brings him home for the Christmas holidays and the two clandestine, September-May ex-lovers come face to face with the truth. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Lewis John Carlino's comedy Class comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. English and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. Spanish and French subtitles are accessible, and the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer. This is a fine release from MGM/UA. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

You will so some SOOOO young versions of Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy and John Cusack. You will also see, Alan Ruck, who you will recognize as the best friend in Ferris Buellers Day Off. Like all movies of this 80s era you see breasts. It just seemed like they couldnt make a movie back then without the boob shot. The revealed breast belongs to Virginia Masden, who played in The Number 23. Jacqueline Bisset looks old and haggy and WAY to old to be fooled by this teenage boy. Yes, it was good to watch, very funny in many parts, but Very lets party, have sex with anyone attitude. Look for Joan Cusack as Julia, hard to find.
