"Was it as good for you as it was for me?"

Tim Matheson easily carries this "Animal House" follow up comedy. You get a nice dose of his sarcasm, a white water rafting competition, a dog that plays charades, a tad of nudity, good looking outdoor photography, and several inspired hilarious moments. Comparing "Up the Creek" to some other teen romps, I would have to say that it holds up quite well. "American Pie" I rate 6.5, " Animal House" 8.0, and "Up the Creek" 6.0. I'd rank it slightly better than something like "Malibu Bikini Shop" 5.5. The film is fast moving, and rarely a moment goes by without something outrageous happening. It also seems to have aged quite well, since most of the movie takes place in the woods and on the creek. I was surprised how much I liked it. - MERK

Actually rather enjoyable...

I had never heard about this 1984 comedy titled "Up the Creek" from writers Jim Kouf, Jeff Sherman and Douglass Grossman before now in 2022, as I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it.

And I will say that "Up the Creek" was actually more enjoyable and entertaining than I had initially anticipated it would be. It was more than just your generic youth comedy. Why? Well, because the storyline actually was more than just sappy romance, drinking alcohol and being out of place. I enjoyed the river rafting aspect of the storyline and the rivalry between the competitors.

However, for a comedy, then I will say that "Up the Creek" was oddly devoid of situations that would prove to actually be funny. Sure, there were the occasional funny moment here and there, but I wasn't laughing throughout the course of the movie.

The movie does have some familiar faces on the cast list with the likes of Tim Matheson and John Hillerman.

However, while "Up the Creek" certainly is entertaining and watchable, it is hardly a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing for me.

My rating of "Up the Creek" lands on a six out of ten stars.

No holds barred rafting

Tim Matheson and Stephen Furst take the characters they created in Animal House and transfer them to Up The Creek. The story has the Dean at Lapetomane University John Hillerman promising to give degrees to Matheson, Furst, and Dan Monahan and Sandy Helburg and rid himself of these four 'scholars' if they can win one trophy which would be a first for the school.

What they enter is a rafting contest and it's one no holds barred contest. But the guys are up to the challenge.

Up The Creek in spots is very funny with Animal House like humor. But when you have three of these geniuses playing charades with their dog to find out where one of them is you know you're not in for an evening of Noel Coward like wit.

for some really low brow tastes.
