Up the Creek

Up the Creek

Tim Matheson and Stephen Furst, the infamous Otter and Flounder of National Lampoon's Animal House fame, co-star in another rip-roaring college campus comedy as Bob and Gonzer, two less-than-collegiate students at Lepetomane University, better known as one of the world's worst institutions of higher learning. The University Dean (John Hillerman, TV's Magnum P.I.) has made these two cutups an offer they can't refuse - degrees in the subject of their choices, if they can bring some long-awaited glory to their school by winning an intercollegiate white water raft race. That seems simple enough until they find themselves up against some heavy competition - in a race that leaves them Up the Creek! Wonderful direction by Robert Butler (Night of the Juggler) and featuring an hilarious cast that includes Dan Monahan, (Pee Wee of the Porky's Trilogy), Sandy Helberg (Spaceballs), Jeff East (Young Clark Kent, Superman) and James B. Sikking (TV's Hill Street Blues).
