Up the Academy
The education they got wasn't in books.
Four boys are sent, for different reasons, to a Military Academy. The life of discipline asks a lot of the four geeks. Of course these boys know how to make a party out of the hard times. Will they be "real men" after one year.
Also released as Mad Magazine Presents: Up the Academy. A standalone Warner Bros. military-school comedy presented under the MAD brand. AFI documents Scott Shapiro appearing as MAD mascot Alfred E. Neuman; an official DC character profile remains unverified. No other DC adaptation is required. Runtime sources disagree: AFI lists 88 minutes and Rotten Tomatoes lists 89 minutes.
