A foul-mouthed comedy about a university student who, even dead, doesn't give up on parties. Funny at times but not very convincing. The young man should be guided by his uncle's fastama to heaven but the latter is more of a party than him.

Proof I haven't seen every great film from the 1980s (a half empty/half full comment if I ever made one). This has to get credit for casting former child star Tom Nolan as a college hellraiser while he was in his late 30s. He is Billy Batson (shazam!) and gets killed in a car accident after dashing to get a condom. His ghost has 24 hours left on earth so, naturally, he heads to the girls shower. There are actually a couple of good laughs in here and the requisite nudity. Larry Linville is the stuck up college president and gives a rather spirited (boooo!) performance, even taking quite a few hard looking pratfalls. Features several songs by The Gleaming Spires, a New Wave band that had future big time screenwriter Leslie Bohem in it. Also featured my favorite exchange heard this year so I had to add it to the IMDb. Nurse 1: I never saw anyone brain dead with a hard on. Nurse 2: I guess you never met my boyfriend.

I found this on Amazon, under horror, which is ironic because its horrible. It was not scary in the slightest, nor would I have labeled it under comedy. In fact, I'm not sure what category I would label this under. Teen fantasy perhaps? I liked the idea of it, reminding me of the movie Zapped, though even that wasn't as good as I would have liked. I probably saw this when I was young, and probably liked it, but it just needed some actual laughs or something.

I rented this movie because I was 15 and liked the cover. The rest of the story should be obvious. I have not seen this movie since I rented it all those years ago, but I do remember it had what I was wanting. Skin and more skin. Then more skin on top of that. I was not disappointed. A few laughs were to be had, but at that age, I did not care. Yes, if you want an epic story for the ages, you will hate this movie. If you want knee-slapping comedy, you will hate this movie. If you like good acting, you will hate this movie. If you like good cinematography, again, you will hate this movie. Otherwise, pick it up! it is sure to make you just Google something better and more "to the point" so to speak.

Taking me back to my youth, absolute quality. As 80's as you will ever get

SCHOOL SPIRIT is your usual high school comedy of the 1980s, albeit one with supernatural tinges. The whole sell of the blurb and the cover is that a typical sex-obsessed student is killed in a car wreck, only to return as a ghost who can become invisible at will. Inevitably he heads straight for the girls' changing room to check out what's on offer. This literally spells out the first twenty minutes of the movie, with all of the nudity a teenage boy could wish for, but from this point the story goes in a very different, largely dull, direction. Our hero is suddenly visible and involved in a political battle with the usual uptight authorities when he and his buddies just want to have fun. A below-par script saps all the life and fun out of this one and it's excruciatingly dull, even with the excessive nudity at times.

Gee I just watched this on DVD the other day.And I'm not sure if "god" would allow a ghost to linger around college but c'mon guy it's a silly little T&A sex comedy.Yes I know it's not a great film but it's a typical 80's party flick. Sometimes the serious artistic merit of a film has to be overlooked.If School Spirit was meant to be taken seriously as a look at reincarnation that's one thing but really it's not.But obviously the producers were tapping into the teenage boy market that made movies like Hardbodies,Porky's,Losin' It and other 80's staples successful.School Spirit will give you a chuckle and an eyeful of gratuitous female nudity,nothing more nothing less.And some days that's all you want to watch.

I truly enjoyed this movie, no pretension and tons of cheesy, horn-ball insanity. The aspect of this movie that really made it for me, that put it over the top, is that our protagonist is so horned-up and crazy to get some action that not only is his corpse clutching the condom that he died getting, but he actually comes back from the dead (!) and steals the condom from his cadaver's grasp. THAT is dedication to getting yr freak on. Check it out if you like the requisite teen / college sex-comedy fodder from the eighties ( private school, porky's, up the creek, summer school, etc. )
