Watch Up the Creek For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Tim Matheson is in rare form here. His cocky, brash, and free-spirited attitude keeps a smile on your face the whole time he's on screen.One of my favorite parts is when Tim is jumped in the parking lot outside of the bar. He's knocked out when his friends find him. They try to get him to come to, but then he starts swinging punches and knocks the crap out of one of his friends. When he gets his wits about him he says,"they got you to"? :) Hard to pick one moment because this film delivers laughs for 90 straight minutes. It's well-written, and well-acted for the genre.The soundtrack is great; out-dated but fantastic. This movie doesn't shy away from what it is... an 80's 'B' 'Boob-comedy' as I like to call them. This is one of the best - maybe THE best. Maybe not as nostalgic as Porky's or Animal House, but it's still at that level on the comedy meter.Never a dull moment. The fun runs like the river, and you'll be hooked from the opening sequence. A true cult-classic that deserves another viewing if it's been a while, and if you're a comedy fan whose put off finding this little gem - shame on you.HIGHLY recommended goof-ball comedy. 84/100One of the most sought-after out-of-print VHS to never get a DVD release. These VHS tapes(in good shape) can go for $25-$50.

Bob (Tim Matheson), Gonzer (Stephen Furst), Max (Dan Monahan) and Irwin (Sandy Helberg) are four total losers in college. Their dean (John Hillerman slumming) orders them to compete against other colleges in a white water raft race. Predictable shenanigans ensure.An "Animal House" clone but, FOR WHAT IT IS, not bad. There's plenty of buff, shirtless guys and girls in skimpy bikinis--or sometimes topless. There's some nice photography, a GREAT title tune and a likable cast. Matheson doesn't take the role (or film) seriously and is just great--laid-back and quite funny. Furst is just OK; Monahan is good but given nothing to do and Helberg gets annoying REAL quick. Jennifer Runyon pops up as the love interest and is good---very pretty and having fun with her role.This is a silly movie with a stupid plot and some REAL bad jokes (most involve a commando outfit trying to sabotage the race) but a likable cast and a few good jokes make this fun to watch in a turn-off-your-brain way. Slightly recommended.

This is a story about students who were bottom of the league on every event that the college took part in.It shows of the challenge four students who were under achievers within the college, being put into a raft race to try and break the trend set by previous years. It also shows the lengths each of the other colleges would go to to win the raft race, with rockets and bombs and the course of the river being altered.It is a comedy you would like to watch again and again. The characters are portrayed well by the actors, and the story involved can show some of the everyday events that can happen in any rivalry situation.

Save this one for a Saturday or Sunday, you have snacks and beverages and friends nearby.One of the best 80s colleges/sport movies. You wont learn a lot, but you 'll have a lot of fun.If you lived in the 80's this movie will take you back to that era. When the cold beer flowed freely, and pretty girls were all around. Sunshine, water, laughing, and all the college years.Tim Matheson would make an excellent James Bond. He has all the charisma that the Bond role requires.Go Lepetomane!
