Maynard Handley This is a strange movie, as you can tell by reading the split in the reviews, but I think you have to understand that it belongs in the Glee or Strangers with Candy genre --- broad-brush satire that is well aware of how fake and silly it is --- not the Beverly Hills 90210 or Saved by the Bell earnest after school genre.So the question, then, is how well does it perform within its genre? I think the answer is adequately, but not great. There are a few touches that are original and amusing, things like: the apparently deliberate choice of 30 yr old actors for the students, who therefore frequently can't be distinguished from the actors for the teachers. (This is even referenced/mocked at one point). Also the over-the-top awfulness of the wanna-be-cool Hollywood parent, or the lechery of the school principal. But overall the script is weak, not enough strong laughs, and some flat-out horrible scenes that are disgusting rather than amusing and that don't move the story along. I'd say if you have some reason to study this particular genre (parodies of high school TV/movies) it's worth seeing for completeness sake; but if you simply want to be amused by the genre you're better off watching reruns of Glee or Strangers with Candy (or Glee Gone to College aka Scream Queens). There remains scope for a good movie in this genre. The best apparently similar movies (like American Pie) are more teenager than high school; and most of the specifically high school parody movies are more from the point of view of the teacher and too earnest, ala Sex Ed, or too sucky ala Bad Teacher; or are pastiche (High School High).

jts0405 First of all if this is a movie about high school, why does everybody look like they're in their thirties. You would think if they were in their thirties they would finally learn how to act. If they were trying to act badly, then they all deserve Oscars, if not then they should never appear in another movie again. I've watched paint dry that was more interesting than this. This could be another form of torture, it's worse than water-boarding. That's an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. So basically you get what you expect from American High School, a crap fest with some of the worst writing I have ever seen put to film.

kevin-stoffels It's suckier than a suck.. An amazingly bad story.. An amazingly bad cast.. They probably just rented out the local strip club for this. All the jokes are totally not funny, oh wait let me think, wait wait, oh no, i'm pretty sure ALL the jokes suck monkey ass.. The only funny thing was awesome, but how many times has that been done already? Some parts are just filthy, that dad at school all the time? Come on! A(n) (really really ugly) teacher in lingerie? And I really hope i can help someone with this: DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! It's supposed to be like an American Pie movie, but something must have gone terribly wrong because it is more like a horror movie just because watching it is a horror.

kobesunset2 Where do I start? I feel ashamed that I wasted the precious minutes of my life watching this movie past the 10th minute. First, most of the actors in this movie do not even deserve the title of "actor". It felt like the person who casted this movie just asked some of his best friends to be in the movie or picked people off the street. Seriously, this was some of the worst acting I have ever seen.The next thing you'll notice is that the sound was totally amateur. It's as if they shot the movie with a video camera and didn't even think to use a microphone. But you can tell there was a sound mixer-- who probably works at a dry cleaning shop for his day job. There are some scenes where you're supposed to believe there is a crowd watching and you can just hear how cheesy the crowd sound effect is. Really, the sound on this film is embarrassing.The plot. Who cares? This movie was made as if they just got together and made it up as they went along. I've heard Chinese torture is pretty bad, but it ain't got nothing on this movie.
