This movie would've bombed without BUBBA!


I love this movie! I love it because of the shenanigans of Bubba!This movie would not have the following it does with out him. Face it, everything that is funny in this movie is attributed to Bubba!

I don't know that it would have bombed without Bubba. Even without him it still would have had Betsy Russell riding topless on a horse and seducing Matthew Modine in her underwear.

I personally love the movie because of Betsy Russell.
Bubba was very funny, but most people remember the movie 25 years later because of Betsy Russell.

Let's face it, this masterpiece is greater than the sum of its parts. Remove one ingredient--Bubba, Betsy--and it collapses like a souffle.

BETSY RUSSELL is the main reason to watch Private School, Her bareback riding scene is what people remember most about private school.
Don't get me wrong Bubba was great in the film.
Betsy's scene is on MR.Skin.com as one of the best nude scenes in film of all time.
I do not remember this film 26 years later because of Bubba.

I have to agree with you on that because that is the only main reason why I remember Private School is due to Betsy Russell horseback riding topless. That part I loved in this movie!

Michael Zorek was hilarious as the rowdy Bubba. I busted a gut watching the sequence when he was stuck in the sauna with Miss Dutchbok.

Actually, I don't believe the film was a big hit anyway.
