Curiosidades

Making the Grade is a 1984 American teen comedy film. It was directed by Dorian Walker and written by Charles Gale and Gene Quintano. It was filmed at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. It marks the debut of actor turned television producer Dan Schneider.

Production

The film began production under the working title of The Last American Preppie, but Chuck Vincent, who produced and directed the film Preppies, filed a complaint with the MPAA over the use of the words "preppie" and "preppy" The MPAA sided with Vincent and noted Preppies had been registered with the MPAA over a year before Cannon registered the titles The Last American Preppy and The Unofficial Preppy Movie prompting MGM/UA to change the name.

This film marks the first appearance of Andrew Clay's "Dice" persona.

Over 1,000 entries were received in the contest with the winning title, Making the Grade, suggested by then eighteen-year-old University of Central Florida student David Thollander. Ironically, Making the Grade had been on the shortlist of rejected alternate titles prior to the contest.

At the start of the film's final credits, the characters Palmer and Eddie are touted as returning in the upcoming movie, Tourista. However, after low theatrical interest in the duo and repeated missed deadlines (of which Olsen tried to contribute as a writer), the script for Tourista was never completed. The pair never teamed up in filmmaking again.
