American High School (2009)

So here is another teen comedy, set in high school, with all the raunchy, sophomore humor that young audiences expect. Except that in this movie, some of the humor actually works.It would be easy to say that this movie is a total mess and not to waste your time. The problem is that this movie is so badly made, that it actually crosses over into some strange new territory. It is so bad that I was laughing at how ridiculous it was, but at the same time, it felt like the filmmakers were in on the joke. It kind of went back and forth from being so stupid it was funny to just being stupid. Still, it had its moments...The easiest character to enjoy was Kip Dick, the scuzzy dad who wants to stay young and hip. He dates high school girls and parties with the jocks, but makes time to nail the art teacher behind the dumpster as well.Then there is the main character. She's the prettiest girl in school, but she's supposed to be a geek. The social studies teacher is a gump, but he is married to the playmate art teacher. The principal gets away with as much inappropriateness as Kenny Powers. One of the Pussycat Dolls is the queen bee. This movie is all over the place and almost as bizarre as a Chalie Kaufman story.Say what you want about HSH, but it isn't predictable. I can't recommend it, but I had to watch it more than once just to believe I had really seen it.

I don't think the creators of this movie have ever seen a high school let alone attended one. The vice principal/ art teacher looks younger than some of her students. In fact, everyone in the movie looks close to 30, teachers and students, all except Gwen's dad who is probably 50 and really in porn. I've seen better acting in porn and not good ones, more like the Cinemax ones. I never thought I'd say this but Talan Torriero is the most talented actor in the entire movie. The cinematographer, director, and script supervisor must all have been on shrooms when creating this masterpiece. Their cars don't even have license plates. The main character is married and in high school and no one seems to know why. This train-wreck is Laguna Beach minus the acting, continuity, attractive youngsters, and interesting story. There is more male and female nudity and cursing than in any public institution in the country. And the lead character was caught having sex at school by everyone. Later she is in danger of being expelled not for this but for possibly being pregnant, which is VERY illegal. I don't see how anyone from this project could ever expect to be taken seriously again.

Every event was over-done. The basics about high school were set fine, but then it was all just too exaggerated. The acting wasn't all that great for the most part. The girl drama between Gwen and Hilary just seemed so fake. It wasn't too funny. There were only a few scenes and characters who made me laugh. This film was super sexual, a little too much if you ask me. A dad marrying some chick from his daughter's school? Haha woah, right? Oh, the actors are quite attractive, again, for the most part. If you're super bored, you can watch it. Wouldn't imagine it being anyone's favorite movie. Surely wasn't mine. basically, it was a movie for teenagers, with nothing better to do, who wanted to watch everyone get it on.

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.
