Making the Grade

(1984)Directed by Dorian Walker105 min · RComedy
“If you can't make it...fake it!”

Hoover Academy is a prep school where money buys most things, and Palmer Woodrow (Dana Olsen) would rather spend his in Europe than sit in a classroom. So he pays Eddie Keaton (Judd Nelson), a street-smart kid with gambling debts, to take his place and collect the grades. Dorian Walker sets Eddie among the blazers and bullies, where Tracey Hoover (Jonna Lee) is the first person to look past the stand-in.
