Reviews
Despite its low IMDb rating of 3.9/10, Preppies has garnered mixed reviews from critics. While some found the film entertaining as a nostalgic throwback to the 1980s, others criticized its shallow characters and predictable plot. Rotten Tomatoes described it as 'a middling attempt at a teen comedy that falls short of its potential'. On the other hand, Metacritic praised the film's campy humor and lively soundtrack, highlighting Dennis Drake's charismatic performance as a standout. Overall, Preppies is a divisive film that may appeal to viewers looking for a light-hearted, if somewhat dated, comedy.
