Getting Wasted

""What we have here is bad craziness and a total disrespect for authority.""

An uptight military school gets a dose of hippie-infused rebellion when a group of students gather in support of the 1960s uprising going on around them. When a few students decide to bring the more liberal, artsy side of the revolution onto campus, they face opposition from much of the school's staff.

    1960s set comedy about Kerwin being forced to attend a straitlaced military school lbut being tempted by a pretty hippie girl. Although at times it falls back on clichés of the genre, it has a dynamite soundtrack, beginning with “For What It’s Worth” over the titles. Even at the obligatory dance hall scene, the band plays “Incense And Peppermints” and is then joined by girls who do commendable versions of Grace Slick and Janis Joplin. Only a stupid kitchen scene based on an urban myth involving a microwave (in 1967) is a headscratcher. Walters gets a “Introducing” credit even though had been in pictures for ten years!

Police Academy

New rules enforced by the Lady Mayoress mean that sex, weight, height and intelligence need no longer be a factor for joining the Police Force. This opens the floodgates for all and sundry to enter the Police Academy, much to the chagrin of the instructors. Not everyone is there through choice, though. Social misfit Mahoney has been forced to sign up as the only alternative to a jail sentence and it doesn't take long before he falls foul of the boorish Lieutenant Harris. But before long, Mahoney realises that he is enjoying being a police cadet and decides he wants to stay... while Harris decides he wants Mahoney out!
