Up the Academy (1980)

In the riotous comedy "Up the Academy", a unique blend of "Animal House" and "Police Academy", we meet four misfit teenagers, each shipped off for a variety of reasons to the formidable Sheldon R. Wienberg Military Academy. Thrust into a world of relentless discipline, these geeks must navigate their new environment, where rigidity is the rule, and rebellion is a distant dream. Yet, these boys are not ones to buckle under pressure. Instead, they transform their challenging circumstances into a stage for their antics. They know how to turn the military drudgery into a lively party, injecting hilarity into the hard times with their infectious spirit and unparalleled camaraderie. As we follow their journey over a year filled with laughter, pranks, and the occasional doses of discipline, the central question remains - will this military crucible transform them into "real men"? Or will they manage to retain their individuality and spirit in the face of the Academy's stern regime? "Up the Academy" is a riotous ride that perfectly balances the harsh reality of military life with the incessant humor and resilience of the four boys, promising a comedy that is as heartwarming as it is hilarious.

Up the Academy is a comedy movie featuring Ralph Macchio and directed by Robert Downey Sr..
