31 - School Spirit

    A college student dies in an accident, and somehow winds up able to exist as a ghost for a day.  As a ghost, he can switch up between being tangible and intangible.
    An 80s teen-sex comedy, this seems like something I would have rented during high school.  But I haven't seen it before!  I found out about it because The Gleaming Spires were credited on the movie.  I'm really glad to have seen it - the Spires play for about 20 minutes of the movie at the end.  And they're doing some of their good, rocking material.
    The movie itself is a disappointment.  The premise is something that should have worked on the same level as Zapped!  Instead, it just seems like they forgot the premise, and ignored it most of the time.
    I was reminded of the way that The Simpsons handles references to 80s teen sex comedies.  Things like School of Hard Knockers or the titles Boner Academy or Teen Sex Wager.  The villain in this is the college president, who is absurdly grumpy.
    It's nice to see this.  It's not very good, but with some better direction and performances, it had much more potential than it achieved.
