Critics consensus

“This 1994 Pauly Shore vehicle stretches its star's thin shtick to the breaking point with a laugh-deficient screenplay that borrows shamelessly from Bill Murray's far superior Stripes .”

Whatever Shore wants to do in the movie business is his business, but the feeling here is that he could expand his audience beyond the teen set if he were to laugh at himself a little bit more.

If Shore's comic genius eludes you or if you find the film something less than a constant laugh riot, you may still be willing to agree that it's amiable enough and not begrudge in the least the likelihood that Shore fans will be pleased.
