That’s right, a third movie by Savage Steve Holland, the auteur of absurdist ’80s teen comedies. How I Got Into College is about a likable, Lane Meyers-esque young man, Marlon Brown, this time played by the underrated Corey Parker, who dreams of attending the same college as his crush, a pre-Twin Peaks Lara Flynn Boyle.
The film is wittily structured around a series of SAT-style puzzles, and benefits from a cast that also includes Revenge of the Nerds star Anthony Edwards and Saturday Night Live stars Phil Hartman and Nora Dunn, while both were still on SNL. And this being a Savage Steve Holland ’80s movie, of course Curtis Armstrong turns up. (That’s him in white, above, with Parker, left.)
This one was unfortunately a box office miss, but is beloved by cool kids everywhere whether or not they got into college.
