Story
Bob McGraw, Max, Gonzer, and Irwin are 4 losers at Lepetemene University, the “worst” college in the United States. They were directed by Dean Birch to participate in the university raft race. Among the teams from other colleges in the race are the Ivy University team, whose students were trained by Ivy Tozer, a university graduate who plans to confuse their path to the winner’s circle.
Another opponent is the Washington Military Institute team, disqualified for their attempts to ruin the rafts of other teams.
The tabloids wrote: "Get ready to get wet ... in a fun, colorful, wild raft race!"
Schools in the film are various parodies. For example, Ivey University is completely made up of rich sons, students from Texas all wear cowboy hats. All university teams are represented by players of the same kind, created in a characteristic way for them.
This movie corresponds to the genre of youth comedy. It shows students a lot of sex, alcohol, and drug-related humor, and several topless scenes that have little to do with the plot.
Quote:
“It so happened that you, the four worst students in the whole country. You are not at the end of the list, you are the end of the list! ”- Dean Birch.
