Plot: In this over-the-top comedy, a group of rowdy high-school students -- whose idea of a good time is throwing a wild party at the home of Principal Moss (Matt Frewer) while he's busy at school -- winds up in detention. As punishment, they're instructed to write an essay on what's wrong with America's educational system. The class brain, stuck in detention with the partiers, comes up with a well-written piece that's sent to the president of the U.S. The president is so impressed that he invites the students to Washington, D.C., to speak before Congress. Sen. John Lerman (Lawrence Z. Dane), one of the president's chief rivals, knows the truth about the students, and he seconds the idea of bringing them to Washington, certain that their behavior will embarrass the president. Principal Moss, sex-starved teacher Tracy Milford (Valerie Mahaffey), and drug-addled bus driver Red (Tommy Chong) load the troublemakers onto a bus and hit the road for the nation's capitol -- and mayhem ensues. National Lampoon's Senior Trip was helmed by Kelly Makin, who also directed the TV series Kids in the Hall; Kevin McDonald, a former Kid in the Hall, has a small part as a deranged crossing guard. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Originally Directed by Alan Smithee.... for a reason

Added 8/6/2009

There is a reason that upon ORIGINAL release into theaters the director had it credited as being directed by the Pseudonym Alan Smithee (for those of you with little to no knowledge of the pseudonum. Film and movie directors/producers/etc use Alan Smithee when they are unhappy and embarassed at the film they have created. Go look it up on Wikipedia) This is just an awefully unfunny movie. There is very little to laugh at or enjoy. Most of the jokes are unfunny or make little sense and fall flat and most of the time you can tell that even the actors have little faith in the film when they show little effort to act well. I don't understand how anyone can enjoy this film when even the director was embarrassed by it upon its completion.
