Plot: Delivering no more and no less than what its title suggests, this teen movie is about three frat brothers chasing down sex and women in Palm Springs for a long weekend escape from blizzard conditions at Iowa State. Wendall (Stephen Geoffreys) is the requisite nerd of the group whose heart throbs for a certain young woman, unfortunately, she is the daughter of Police Chief Ferret (John Vernon), an aptly-named tough cop who is hardly going to welcome anyone who is after his daughter. Wendall's two buddies (Cameron Dye and Leigh McCloskey) are hot on the heels of the beauteous Ashley (Sheree J. Wilson), but so are a few others, and she does not necessarily bestow her favors indiscriminately -- and so they are having a difficult time of it. Between the music, the locations, and the lightweight plot to match the clothing, this is a typical teen comedy, for and about teens, and aimed at a young teen audience. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Let them go or I'll marry a Democrat!!!

HEre's another great mindless comedy from the 80's. It such a shame they can't make movies like this anymore. Members of rival fraternities show up at Palm Springs for Spring Break. They make a thousand dollar bet on who can make it with the 'dream girl'. One decides to play a suicidal love-stricken romantic, the other a fitness guru. Both strike out, but have 'proof'.

Along for the ride is Wendyl. He's the astrology geek who ends up with the babe. But not before he gets involved with Amanda Bearse who's father is the town sheriff.

This movie has all the things that make 80's movies so great, a light plot, sex, nudity, low-brow humor, and doing things that would get you arrested today, but back then seemed innocent enough. Movies like this never won any awards, but they live forever to remind us of how much fun the 80's were.

A CLASSIC!!!!!!!
Added 4/21/2003

Fraternity Vacation is an excellent movie. I love this film. Stephen Georffeys is excellent as Wendell Tvedt, as well as Amanda Bearse. All the actors are well casted. Cameron Dye as Joe and Tim Robbins as Mother are hilerious and are well paired as buddies. Sheree J. Wilson is excellent and charming. It's nice to see Barbara Crampton and Kathleen Kinmont in their somewhat small roles. With this movie, you just have fun. It's funny, there's some romance and a little bit of nudity, if your Barbara Crampton and Kathleen Kinmont fans-you'll love it. This film is a classic in my opinion.

Barbara and Kathleen are the real stars

The five stars is rewarded to the infamous scene with Barbara and Kathleen. They are so gorgeous. They are the true stars of this movies. I never grow tired of watching that scene over and over again.
This is their best work ever.
