I watched it when I was 18. Thoroughly enjoyed it.I hadn't gotten truly wasted up to that point. I went on to live a life, getting properly wasted as often as possible in my 20's. I watched it again when I was about 35, I thought it was crap.I was thinking about this film the other day, so it cannot be that bad. Made an impression on me at least.I am 46 now. I no longer get wasted. I'd watch it again, for free, off the TV if it came round.Be safe, kids. Keep it legal.

As one of the other commentators has mentioned, the first thing I thought of when I saw this film was POLICE ACADEMY. GETTING WASTED feels like a dry run for that '80s classic: it involves the rookie cadets at a military academy involving themselves in '60s counter culture and the usual sex and drugs of that decade.It's also an unsurprisingly forgotten film, unsurprising because in reality it isn't very good. The jokes and humour are lame and predictable, and none of the characters are well defined or particularly likable. There are no big name actors or future stars here, just a mess of folk who never aspired to greatness.I was also surprised at how restrained this film is. Comedies from this era are usually raunchy and padded out with copious nudity from the ladies, but there's none here (unless the version I saw was edited for TV). The drug jokes are tame and there's no real plotting or drama; just a series of loosely-linked situations playing out for supposed laughs that never transpire.

Saw this movie at 3am on the 'Bad movies' channel. It certainly deserves it's place there. Badly acted, boring, explotitive and just plain silly. Still, if you're drunk or on any naughty illegal substances you just might enjoy it.Basically a load of boys at military school get involved in the swinging 60s drug culture. They get high on banana skins, meet girls in mini skirts, drink a lot and generally stick it to the man. There's not exactly a lot of plot, or dialogue. Just seems to be a random assortment of odd little scenes.But hey in the end the guy meets a groovy chick and they go to san Francisco and probably live happily ever after in a camper van.

Great, if you like low budget cult like trash and the like. Generally adolescent humour. Check it out if you can. I've watched it a couple of times, taped off tv, and I would watch it again. I thought it was funny!
