In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I think this movie is very underrated. It's hilarious! It might only appeal to specific younger demographic but that doesn't make it any less good. It May have have some minor flaws in story, but nothing that would take away from the movie as a whole. The protagonists love interest and whole situation in that regard was a bit lacking. But the whole idea story wise is genius and very funny.Well done!I recommend seeing this movie. Unless your not a fan of stoners, or high school.Love the title.

I have to admit, that I was more than pleasantly surprised while I was watching this movie. First of all this is meant to be funny and it is (unlike a horror movie A. Brody did with Mr. Argento, that was just funny, because it was bad). Apart from that, there are some very fine (weird) moments in this. One involves a frog and a word. That's all I'm going to say. It's really silly, but it made me laugh. A couple of times and I wasn't under the influence or anything. I just think it is genuinely funny.As is the cast overall. While Brody has not a major part in this, there are a few other known actors in this movie. Which might explain why IMDb has a budget estimate that is beyond 10 million Dollar. It didn't perform well in cinemas, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a try. You might enjoy it ... and I'm still talking about the movie of course

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.

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
