That was an excellent one.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

A quality cinematic treatment of this infamous episode from the 1980s seems a worthy and ambitious project."The Preppie Connection" fails in this endeavor. For starters, the budget was simply not adequate for the scope of this project. Its meant to show the elite prep school environment of the early-1980s, yet its not even close to qualifying as a period piece. Frankly, I don't think the filmmakers even tried very hard in this dept. I attended a famously "preppie" college in the early-80s, and to me, the costume design here is off, and in a way that makes the costume designer(s) appears lazy.The acting performances and overall casting are average, nothing really very compelling or inspired from any of these young actors. Logan Huffman as the antagonist is the bright spot.In an overdone genre of film, this half-baked effort misses the mark on several levels. The filmmakers should have sought better funding, or scraped this project all together. They chose to walk the middle of the road so to speak, so they are left with a somewhat awkward, entirely forgettable film.

Movies based on a true story are always more interesting then the odd fictional movie. In The Preppie Connection it's all about a simple guy, Toby (played by Thomas Mann), that tries to fit in with the other high class students. He's secretly in love with Alex (played by Lucy Fry) and tries to impress her and her entourage by scoring weed, then cocaine, and later by smuggling the white powder from Columbia. It's an interesting and entertaining movie. The cast is well chosen and the storyline is very easy to follow. It shows what some people would do to impress others or to fit in, and it shows how cocaine can destruct a lot of lives. Certainly worth a watch.

rotten tomato is stupid. lately movies that are 0% and garbage are rated in the 80's/90's over there and winning Oscars for political correctness. i guess in this safe space day and age a good old fashioned story of how awesome the 80's was and the innocence the decade shared in relation to drugs and especially coke is lost on many. the soundtrack was amazing. only reason I'm here really...i figured someone had the track list for Pete's sake.great movie. travesty rotten gave it poor reviews. i may have bypassed it.8/10rotten tomato is stupid. lately movies that are 0% and garbage are rated in the 80's/90's over there and winning Oscars for political correctness. i guess in this safe space day and age a good old fashioned story of how awesome the 80's was and the innocence the decade shared in relation to drugs and especially coke is lost on many. the soundtrack was amazing. only reason I'm here really...i figured someone had the track list for Pete's sake.great movie. travesty rotten gave it poor reviews. i may have bypassed it.8/10

Based on a true story, a poor white kid tries to get in good with the rich privileged kids going to a fancy prep school by smuggling in drugs for them to take.I seen this drug tale before a dozen times, but the film is quite interesting to watch despite. Especially the lead actor Thomas Mann, who became big from Me, Earl, and a Dying Girl. Just like that movie, Mann's character narrates the story, in a very very similar fashion. Lucy Fry also played an interesting character as well as Logan Huffman who played one of the rich prep school kids. He did a fantastic job of being very unlikable to the point were you like to not like him. very nice.Worth sitting through.
