American High School (2009)

Great Film overall

Awesome Movie

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I'm guessing that most people are watching this movie based on the cover, expecting lots of topless women and zany teen antics, and while it does deliver the prior it does so in such a dull and boring manner that I couldn't bring myself to be interested. None of the actors ever display emotion and the soundtrack, while fitting in this kind of movie, feels completely flat and does nothing to drive the movie. Additionally the lighting looks like it was shot in a grocery store, with the flat color that only rows of fluorescent lights can give. It's like the 'writers' looked up every teen trope they could and tried to shove it an 86 minute movie. If you really want to see a teen comedy that does 'trope packing' I recommend "Not Another Teen Movie" or the first two "Scary Movie" flicks, or if you're just looking for a good teen comedy, I'd say "Easy A" would be a good pick.

I have to say that the movie didn't quite live up to my expectations when viewing most movies, and the plot seemed pretty lost. I think they went wrong with trying so hard to mix in a bunch of successful movie techniques and by doing that ruined a lot of the story for me. I think with a bigger budget and maybe some direction this movie would have been decent. Even though there were parts that were hard to get though it had it's moments, perhaps accidental, that were generally funny. I have one thing to say to all those involved in making this movie: Nice try and better luck next time.(P.S. Don't listen to all the other naysayers, they're jealous that you guys made a movie! Be proud of yourselves)

First i will tell you what this film isn't, its not American pie 643 or road trip 100 its the same genre but is completely original and i liked it i found it funny in many parts and whilst watch a crap film i find my self doing other things on my laptop surfing at the same time but not with this film it was non-stop all the way through a great film i hope the creators of this film go on to make other films like this. throughout the film we got to learn all about the characters they all had there own personalities and played of each other very well my favourite obviously was Gwen but i also liked her dad too. This film makes you believe this is really what California is like just a crazy place like how californication does in a way. I would recommend renting this film to any one who likes the whole college high school type film and rate it right up there, Sean William Scott does not have to be in this kind of film to make it good.

This movie is supposed to be a satire/spoof of teen high school sex movies. In fact, the high school is even called "American High School." It's supposed to lampoon the other movies by going completely over the top, with every student being super-sexed, super-drama magnets. However, the movie lacks two key ingredients for a good spoof movie: wit and charm.American Pie had both (which was why it was successful). The main characters were understandable enough that you actually wanted them to succeed. In this movie, all the main characters seem to suffer from multiple personality/bipolar/other mental illnesses as they will completely flip 180 digress from scene to scene. The best example of this is the "most popular guy in school/main character's husband"Right in a row he: First rejects the main antagonists' "subtle: advances (and my subtle I mean she shoves him against a tree, tears off his shirt and offers him a bj). He calls her a dumb whore and ditches her. Then in the very next scene she offers him a ride and asks to go out to lunch with him and he accepts. Then in the next scene he's talking to his wife about how he asked the "dumb whore" out to prom and that he didn't think she (wife) would be upset.Seriously...WTF?And this isn't an isolated incident. At prom the husband is seen dancing and grinding against the "dumb whore", grabbing her ass and then in the very next scene is trying to apologize to the wife saying he misses her. If they portrayed him as a chauvinistic pig like many of the other male characters, that would have been fine, but they tried very hard to portray him as a "sensitive, confused boy who just got married too young."Anyway, the ONLY reason I can think someone should want to watch this is to see tits, and again you'll be disappointed. There is one scene where Nikki Ziering (age: 38) partially exposes her breasts so her art class can get "inspiration."Here's a hint for all you adolescent boys, she gets more naked in American Wedding (she's Officer Krystal) and that's actually a decent movie.
