Police Academy
When the Police Academy adopts a completely open admissions policy, no height or weight restriction, and most worryingly no intelligence tests. Hence a large number of unemployable social misfits promptly enroll. The academy instructors have the most difficult wave of recruits to train up: they include Laverne Hooks the tiny voiced woman; Karen Thompson the sociopath (Kim Cattrall); Eugene Tackleberry the firearm fan and Larvell Jones the walking sound-effect. Carey Mahoney (Steve Guttenburg) is a reluctant cadet of a different kind--he must last the course at the Academy as an alternative to jail. This hilarious motley crew are the last, blundering buffoons you would want as upholders of the law, as your protectors. The crooks never had it so good.

Guttenburg, the Marlon Brando of the comedy genre
This film is mint. The comic timing the fresh jokes the innuendos, oh how I laughed until I soiled myself. I watched Police Academy as a ten year old boy, and even if I wasn't a ten year old boy I still would have watched it. Some movie critics say Guttenburg is bland and uninspiring but I say anyone who can act opposite a robot in short circuit and truly believe that Johnny Five is alive should be declared king of all method actors. I'll never forget you Guttenberg. Even if the rest of the movie world has.

Incredibly cheesy 80's comedy that had me laughing non-stop as a kid, though its a little difficult to always spot the jokes 20 years later. Juevenille but still a few amusing moments.
