Pauly Shore and his comedy style just doesn't work for me personally. The movie in of itself isn't awful, it's just not very good haha.
At the start I thought that this movie was going to simply be a college flick, but instead it turned out to be a culture clash movie. The focus of this movie is the radical youth coming out to the traditional bible belt country of the United States and letting everybody know that he isn't all that bad anyway.
For me it's a typical comedy-drama-romance film of the early 90s. It is quite amusing, although Pauly Shore isn't the type of actor I really like; his ugly figure in this movie (I haven't seen him anywhere else so far) doesn't seem that funny to me and doesn't help in the romance/drama part of the film.
