Question
QUESTION: Hello April - This early 80's movie plot is focused on Seniors in High School trying to study to get a good score on their S.A.T's, I remember some of the kids going to a special Saturday school to help with these test. During the movie one of these kids would often daydream about the test questions, his daydreams would be shown as cartoons. Any ideas??

ANSWER: this is a 1980's comedy film, yes?   do you know who starred in it?

off hand, i can think of a few films where daydreams turn into cartoons, but will need more info i'm afraid.

QUESTION: Yes, 1980's comedy film. These day dreams (cartoons) would be based on the question to the S.A.T - "If a train was going 70 miles per hr, and a car was going 50 mph, what one would collide first, type questions, the teen would have to answer the question prior to his daydream cartoon person would be in the wreck. Wish I knew the actors, but don't recall. Thanks, hope this helps.
