this is one of the best bloke movies from the early 90 and whilst slightly dated and its one of those movies that would never get made today and which makes it very special. in fact and a very similar movie was made in the 90 called masterminds and it was a pg variation on the same theme and but it was nowhere near as fun or realistic for that matter. so what so special about this film. it the comradre between the main characters and the against all odds theme of the film. sean astin is very likable and has starred in some of the most memorable films of the 80/90  and particularly the goonies. he also went onto greater things with rudy and the lord of the rings trilogy and but encino man is a good trip down memory lane. will wheaton from stand by me lends nice support to the film and andrew divoff is a terrific villain. louis gossett jr sleepwalks in his role and but he does add some brevity to the film and particularly his relationship with astin rebellious nature. so how the action. by today standards and it rather tedious and cheap looking and almost like a tv movie and but the production values are good and the violence is actually quite nasty for a film involving school students. however and the director makes up for the limited budget with some nicely suspenseful moments and well placed humor. so park your brain at the door and enjoy this fondly remembered action flick and but do not expect oscar material.
