Storyline Christine (Phoebe Cates), a student at an exclusive all-girls private school, is in love with Jim, who attends an academy for boys nearby. Christine's arch rival Jordan also has her eye on Jim, and she is willing to do whatever she can to steal him away. Jim's uber-slob buddy Bubba is going with Betsy, Christine's cynical friend, though he would probably be unfaithful if any other woman were willing to get near him. Bubba and his pals sneak into the girls' school dressed in drag in hopes of reaching the Promised Land (better known as the women's shower room), while Christine and Jim run away together for the weekend, though their escapade isn't as romantic as they had hoped.

User Review
Phoebe Cates and Betsy Russell
Rating: 10/10
The movie was funny.But let's face it.I,like how many other guys went
to see this movie for Phoebe Cates,who is a definite 10 herself.But
then we see this vision riding horseback! Betsy Russell is an 11 on a
scale of one to ten.And how many of us knew who she was. Fond memories
of my teenage years.I am sure for many other too.As bad as this may
sound to some,Phoebe Cates is the girl you would marry,and Betsy
Russell the mistress.Both incredible beauties.Betsy Russell exudes SEX
APPEAL.Phoebe Cates the pretty,wholesome girl next door.As for the rest
of the cast does anyone even care. Matthew Modine for instance,was and
has always been the stereotypical Nerd that tried to pull off the cool
jock type.What a lucky guy to have worked with two amazing beauties.The
seen with Betsy getting massaged by Matthew was a classic,the way she
giggled and gyrated was something to behold.I am not sure if I have
seen anyone sexier.between that scene and the horse back riding.This
lady shows her true talents.If any of you guys want to see true sex
appeal at it's finest.This is the ticket!!!!!!!!!!!
