How I Got Into College
A horror story so intense, so barbaric, so frightening it will have you running for your local army recruiter.
Directed by Savage Steve Holland
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A lighthearted 1980s teen comedy about a lovelorn high school senior navigating college admissions and romance with humor and earnest charm.
High school senior Marlon Bowne is smitten with overachieving classmate Jessica Kailo. But, if he wants to have a shot with her, he'll have to find a way to get into Ramsey College, Jessica's top choice of schools. It won't be easy, since the college is highly selective and Marlon's grades are hardly impressive. That means the lovelorn teen will have to find a way to score high on the SATs and win over the college admissions committee.
