“u0026quot;Up the Creeku0026quot; is a glorious entry in that genre known as the 1980s sex comedy. Itu0026#39;s actually pretty funny at times, thanks to good gags in the script by Jim Kouf (u0026quot;Stakeoutu0026quot;). Itu0026#39;s got gorgeous gals (and bare breasts), likable heroes, priceless villains, and some very nice wilderness scenery. You really canu0026#39;t ask for anything more.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome aging graduates of u0026quot;Porkyu0026#39;su0026quot; and u0026quot;Animal Houseu0026quot; play our leads, a bunch of indolent guys goofing their way through their protracted life at college. It turns out, theyu0026#39;re the worst college students in the entire U.S. of A.! Their angry Dean (John Hillerman in a quick cameo) says that he will give them degrees PROVIDED that they win an all-important inter collegiate raft race that the Dean hopes will earn some respect for his place of higher learning.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLed by amiable ladyu0026#39;s man Bob McGraw (Tim u0026quot;Otteru0026quot; Matheson), our heroes do battle with some cheating, conniving preppies (among them Jeff East of u0026quot;Superman: The Movieu0026quot;) and some military school cadets commandeered by a vengeance minded nut (Blaine Novak) angry over being disqualified from the race.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlso along for the ride are Dan u0026quot;Pee Weeu0026quot; Monahan, Stephen u0026quot;Flounderu0026quot; Furst, lovely Jennifer Runyon (u0026quot;Ghost Bustersu0026quot;), James Sikking (u0026#39;Hill Street Bluesu0026#39;), Julia Montgomery (u0026quot;Revenge of the Nerdsu0026quot;), and Jeana Keough (u0026quot;The Beach Girlsu0026quot;). However, itu0026#39;s Jake the dog who easily steals the movie, especially in a delicious scene of charades. (You can tell that the dog is actually voiced by a human actor, in this case Frank Welker.) The movie opens brightly, as someone tries in vain to silence a chattery bird, and delivers enough titillation and, ultimately, outright destruction, to rate as a good time. Itu0026#39;s hard to go wrong when the rocking title theme song is belted out by Cheap Trick. Everything is (mostly) comfortably predictable, and easy to take.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEight out of 10.”
