Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

ulric99 A painfully bad movie in which an MIT qualifying student and a college failure team up to create a winning team.It's been done before in so many other movies and there's nothing new here worth talking aboutThe acting is less than average and the dialogue is atrocious.All in all, another one to avoid at all costs.It never ceases to amaze me that movies as bad as this get funded and use up resources that could be better used in movies that would be worth watching.I need to add one more line of text to have this review count... This movie is garbage.

stonerwood Great comedy. The idea of getting an entire school high so that everyone fails the drug test has a lots of potential for a stoner comedy and it definitely is one. The storyline is very good and full of twists and funny situations. You really need to get high to enjoy it thoroughly :)I really must highlight the very memorable creation by Adrien Brody who plays Psycho Ed, an ultra radical pro grower, who invents an extremely powerful extract of trichomes. Before Psycho Ed became Psycho Ed, he used to be one of the brightest young talents at school, but just one hit of weed made him realize he could put his knowledge to better use. Isn't it plain awesome? I bet many of you always wanted to devote your life to professional cultivation. I know I do :)Looking for good stoner movies? Check it out: stonerwood.blogspot.com

rgblakey Most of the stoner comedy films that come along play pretty stupid and are an acquired taste. The latest High School looks to take the same template but add something a bit unique to it with more story. Is it possible to really be able to make a stoner film that stands out as more than just that or is it just a guise to attract a bigger audience.High School follows a valedictorian who decides to take his first hit of pot only to find out that they are having random drug testing the same day. To try and nullify the test he teams up with the school's biggest stoner to attempt to get the entire school high. For the most part this is your typical stoner comedy, but thanks to the great cast and new twist with the story it manages to become something more and quite entertaining. Of course the story is highly unbelievable, but if you can set that aside and just have fun with it you are sure to have a great time. The entire cast does a great job, but two standouts come in the form of school faculty with Colin Hanks and Michael Chiklis. Hanks seems to just letting it all out to having a lot of fun not taking himself seriously and delivering some memorable moments. If Hanks is letting it all out, then Chiklis has split open and pours it out on the floor. His delivers a performance out of character that is both hilarious and a bit creepy. The obsessed principal he brings to life would easily become one of the more memorable film characters if this film got a wider release. Every aspect of his performance works and is bothersome on so many levels. The other stand out is Adrian Brody who is always good and seems to enjoy the stranger roles, but here just seems to lose his mind inside the character and become one with this psychotic drug dealer.This movie is a lot of fun and reminiscent of the comedies of the 80's. Filled with a great cast, over the top story, and an original take on the stoner comedy High School will have you eager to light it up and smoke until the last puff.http://www.examiner.com/movie-in-dallas/bobby-blakey

Paul Magne Haakonsen Normally I am not keen on the 'stoner comedies', as I have seen a good share and most of them have been pretty boring, lacking comedy and basically not really been worth watching. But the cast list credited to this movie made me sit down and give it a chance.And "High School" really surprised me as it turned out to be the best of all the 'stoner comedies' I have ever suffered through.The story is about Henry (played by Matt Bush) who is a student with great grades and about to makes it to MIT, but in a moment of weakness he tried smoking weed with his childhood friend Travis (played by Sean Marquette). Unfortunately the high school they are attending implements mandatory drug testing for the following day, in lieu of a former spell bee champion from the school making headline news from being high on drugs during the competition. Coming up with a clever plan, the two friends decide to drug the entire school, to make everyone fail the drug tests, and end up stealing drugs from Psycho Ed (played by Adrien Brody). The following day becomes a chaotic race against time, as principal Leslie Gordon (played by Michael Chiklis) is piecing together what is really going on.I will say that the story was cleverly thought through, and it had some nice moments. Sadly, though, this is not the type of comedy that will have you laughing hard throughout the entire movie. I laughed only a couple of times. But it is the type of comedy that is fun to watch and entertaining.As for the cast list, the reason why I decided to watch this movie, well I must applaud Adrien Brody for his performance in this movie. He played the role of Psycho Ed so well, and it was a sheer joy to watch him in this movie. But also hats off for Michael Chiklis for his portrayal of the oddly behaving principal. It was very surreal to see these two in a movie like this and have roles like this. But they did a tremendous job, and they really carried the movie.If you enjoy the 'stoner comedy' genre, then you definitely have to treat yourself to this movie, because it is really great.And with that, I will leave you with a great quote from principal Leslie Gordon: "If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this footage should be worth a thousand pictures. Which would equal a million... words."
