Weird early 80s film dealing with the boundaries of friendship, and the expectations and awkwardness of youth!

As many others have noted with the film, 'Class', is that it is quite uneven! It doesn't know if it's a comedy, romance, or even tense drama. It's a weird 80s teen film, but I don't even think I could call... Full review
Uneven Brat Pack comedy. Some moments are enjoyable, others make you want to squirm.

Class might be one of the most uneven films ever made. It begins like a broad teen-comedy; enters a mid-section about the sexual awkwardness (and awakening) of adolescence; and for its final twenty minutes or so is a deadly serious drama... Full review

Though this movie was clearly designed to have mass-market teen appeal, it has a serious side that makes it stand out from other movies of the same type. The premise, a teenage boy's first sexual encounter turns out to be with... Full review
Critics Reviews
| Jul 22, 1983Chicago Sun-Times
Class " is a prep-school retread of " The Graduate " that knows some of its scenes are funny and some are serious, but never figures out quite how they should go together.
The result is an uncomfortable, inconsistent movie that doesn't really pay off -- a movie in which everything points to two absolutely key scenes that are, inexplicably, the two most awkward scenes in the film.
