Country girl Rebecca begins college in Los Angeles.
There she meets Crawl, a student who is crazy, unpredictable and wild. During the holidays she brings him with her home, as she feels sorry for him.
Her parents have never seen anything like him and are shocked when Rebecca tells them that they are engaged to be married.
It was the beginning of Pauly Shores short run trying to make it big, and obviously some studio thought California/Encino man was a good showcase for him, and so gave him a contract. This was the first movie, and much like Adam Sandler, you really have to like the man to like the movies.
The film consists of people you recognise from other things, Carla Gugino looking really young, and Shore doing his stoner shtick that he did for the next three cinematic releases.
As a standalone vehicle, a fish out of water comedy isn't a bad choice, and having a city boy come to the farm should spell hilarity, but it just spells out mild chuckling every now and again.
It's the formula for easy nineties comedy, ninety minutes long, three perfunctory acts, something bad happens to out hero just before the middle of the third act, and there is a Scooby Doo ending.
It's pretty clunky, dumb stuff, but its kind of sadistic fun to see a studios gamble failing with every film that was made.
Brendan Fraser even makes a cameo, just to let people know Shore was in at least one good film....
