Summary: This is comedy bliss.
Comment: This is a great "Feel good" comedy because of all the elements the script possesses.
They're college students on a weekend retreat with goergeous girls, and many foes, including a river to conquer. This is a movie with no grown-up responsibilites, no chores, no jobs; no pressure. It's a movie that reminds you of when life was really good, and when your fun was at its peak.
The characters are funny and have their quirks about them, just interesting enough without over doing it. Your sides wont split watching this film, but all the elements together makes it work.
If you like escaping your life for a nite and still have a VHS player, rent this one, it will remind you of The Best Years of Your Life.

Summary: Cheap Trick are the only winners of this forgotten flick...
Comment: I can only remember "Up The Creek" as being one of Tim Matheson's "take-the-check-&-run" jobs after portraying 60's ladies-man Eric "Otter" Straton in the smash "Animal House" when I caught this on late-nite AMC a few years back. This was just fated to be forever lost in the shadows of "Nerds" and "Porky's" during those halcyon days of 80's slob comedies....an OK time-waster, but not much else to write home about.
On a more praising note, Cheap Trick's wacky, eponymous theme song (penned by the inimitable Doc Nielsen, possibly while "high" according to him during one 1997 interview!) hits a tidal-wave of a homer! I recently picked up the Soundtrack after an near-exhaustive search on the web, and it was refreshing, exuberant ear candy to hear after 22 years! Even though Robin, Rick, Bun E, & Tom have long reviled this tune (as well as the complementary weird video that's still seared in my mind) as a major skeleton from their 80's closet, consider me guilty as charged for wanting to have this single in my Trickster collection for many, many moons. Sure, "Budokan", "Monster", or "Rockford" it ain't...but it has all the zany heart my checkerboard chaps had then and especially now!!!

Comment: My wife keeps bugging me to get this movie on DVD, I have to break the news to her that it's not out yet. Up the Creek is one of our favorites from the 80's.

Summary: Another cheesy 80's flick...
Comment: ...that really needs to come out on DVD soon. Come on, all of us 80's teens are now nostalgic enough and moneyed enough to fork bucks over for our cheesy teen favorites. This one is no exception. Certainly needs to be on DVD.
