This is the basic outline for
National Lampoon’s Senior Trip.
\__.When aine crazy grads from
Fairmont High write a letter to the

rass the President, and of course, the

kids try to stop him, leaving a trail of

beer cans, bottles, and a bored sudi-
ence behind them.

However, all the funny puns,
slapstick, and off-beat comedy
almost make up for 4 moronic plot.

-- Almost.

Towards the beginning of the film
the action goes so incredibly fast that
you almost have to be ripped, drunk
or severely messed-up to understand
and enjoy it. Then, when you finally
get used to the fast puce, it slows
down to a weak, sluggish crawl,’

In my opinion some of the come-
dy, however funny, went too far. It
hit on lesbians, sex toys and even
made fun of schoo} girls getting run-
over by cars.

J started to wonder if the director

cinematographer? The camera.opysr~
ators? The entire cust seemed su out-
of-it, they probably thougstt that they
were on the set of the latest from
Cheech and Chong.

This movie had exactly the
ammount of hype it deserved, None.

On a scale of one to 10 (thumbs
are (oo annoying), Ud give this:
movie a shaky four.

If you still really want to see it,
however, wait until it comes out on
video. It's not worth the $8.00
admission (The popcom would
probably be alot cheaper toa)
