The nerdy academics vs. dimwitted athletics in only a minor theme, and it fits another plot device: the star athlete -- a boat rower -- is forced to join the high-academic school under a pseudonym because his wealthy father doesn't like schools that have high academic standards for its athletes.
The plot is simple. The coach at the nerdy academic school has to get a decent rowing team or he'll lose his job. The school President's daughter is a college-aged doll, and the coach uses her image, writing letters pretending to be from her, to star rowers to attract them to his school. She doesn't know this, although she does go on personal interviews to attract at least one athlete.
There are a few musical numbers, two or three, and they're nice period material. Music also plays a role in motivating the rowing team. (One of the tunes, the one from the "study hall," I'm still humming.) If you like comedies from this period, you'll have fun with this one. It has some interesting twists and a lot of humorous lines, incidents, and acting.
This is a relatively low budget film for Warner Brothers, as the film starred the perennial supporting actor McHugh. Otherwise, most of the rest of the cast is relatively unknown, though you might recognize a few stock players such as George E. Stone (as "Biddle"--he was also "Runt" in the Boston Blackie films), Joe Sawyer, Warren Hull and Henry O'Neill--all secondary actors under contract with the studio. Now despite the low budget and the occasional lulls (especially because there are too many musical numbers), the film itself is rather fun and likable. Not especially deep or memorable, but a decent little time passer.
PS--Look close and you'll see a very young Lloyd Bridges in a short little cameo.
A sharp eye may be able to spot a very young Lloyd Bridges in his first film. It's a very slight comedy. I don't really like Joan or Bob or them together. They should be able to work but their meet-cute is less than cute. She almost kills him running him over with a speed boat and he almost abandons her despite she's pretending to drown. They need to be a good rom-com pairing for this to work and I don't care about them. I don't care about the romance and the comedy isn't funny. Honestly, Squirmy and glasses are a much cuter couple.

- CuriosidadesLloyd Bridges' first movie; he appears briefly at the roughly 40-minute mark. He's the blonde haired guy trying to get into the party who Frank McHugh chases away by telling him it's quarantined.
