Class is a classic romantic comedy movie released in the year 1983. The movie tells the story of the strong and independent Jacqueline Bisset, who stars as Ellen, a single mother who wants to make sure that her son, Skip (Andrew McCarthy), has every opportunity possible to succeed in life. Together, they move to Chicago where they settle into a new home and school.

The story takes a drastic turn when Skip enters college and meets an extremely wealthy roommate played by Rob Lowe. Lowe's character, named Jonathan, is not only rich but also a free spirit who loves to party and live life to the fullest. Skip is immediately drawn to Jonathan's carefree lifestyle and the fun times he is exposed to, often ditching his academic priorities to hang out with his new party-loving roommate.

Soon, Skip falls for a beautiful and sophisticated lady, who he thinks is Jonathan's girlfriend but is actually his mother, Ellen (Bisset). The situation gets complicated when Jonathan becomes interested in Ellen as well. As the two men compete for Ellen's attention, it is clear that Ellen must make a difficult choice.

Class is not just a typical romantic comedy but offers insightful commentary on class differences and the social divide that can often create conflicts in relationships. Bisset's character Ellen is a hardworking single mother who has always had to struggle to make ends meet. Her wealthier adversaries, on the other hand, have never had to worry about financial pressures and live a life of luxury.

The film also portrays the complexities of relationships and the need for communication and understanding between partners. Although Ellen and Jonathan come from different worlds, they find a common ground in their love for Skip, and this helps build a bridge between them.

The movie's soundtrack is full of hit songs, which gives enjoyable accompaniment to the film's lively college scenes. The director Lewis John Carlino beautifully captures the college scene, highlighting the fun and care-free moments that students enjoy.

Lastly, the film also highlights the emotional struggles that one can go through when they are in love with someone but they can't be together. It deals with the complexities of emotions and how love and desire can sometimes push one to cross boundaries that they wouldn't normally cross.

In conclusion, the movie Class is a classic romantic comedy that tackles important issues, such as class differences and the struggles of relationships. The film's talented cast and iconic soundtrack make it a must-watch for all cinephiles.
