Summer School is a 1987 film directed by Carl Reiner about the travails of a high school gym teacher who is forced to teach a remedial English class for a bunch of maladjusted goof-off students. It stars Mark Harmon, Kirstie Alley, and Courtney Thorne-Smith. The original music score was composed by Danny Elfman. It is the last day of school before summer vacation. The gym teacher, Mr. Freddy Shoop , could care less about his job and is ready to vacation in Hawaii with his young girlfriend, Kim. The Vice Principal, Phil Gills , calls a number of students to the office. They include easily... distracted Pam ; "nocturnal" Larry, who happens to be a male stripper ; football jock Kevin ; pregnant Rhonda ; geeky Alan , whose siblings are all straight-A students ; dyslexic Denise and two horror-film-obsessed underachievers, Dave and Francis, a.k.a. 'Chainsaw' . They all failed and have to go to summer school for remedial English.
