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.

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.

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

Smoking makes most everything funny, and many will have a go-to selection of movies that pair especially well with pot. It's surprising, then, that movies about weed don't automatically fit into that category. If you've ever been sober in a room full of smokers you know that watching other people get stoned just ain't that funny, and it's even more difficult for a movie to impart a contact high. Fortunately, High School straddles the divide between "stoner movie" and "movie to watch while stoned", because it's very, very funny. The plot is a lean, generic high school story - Henry (Matt Bush) is the straight-A valedictorian, tempted astray just before graduation by stoner and one-time friend Travis (Sean Marquette) after a chance accident lands them in detention. Henry tries pot for the first time, just as Principal Gordon (Michael Chiklis) is about to call for a school-wide drug test after a spelling bee incident embarrasses his school's good name. Henry and Travis plan to foil the drug test by getting the whole school high on drug savant Psycho Ed's (Adrian Brody) ultra-potent supply. The setup is goofy but handled lightly and with a relatively straight face, which already distinguishes the movie from pure stoner material like How High or Cheech and Chong. The laughs come early and often, not relying too much on stoner tropes (although they're around if you want 'em) or character mugging, but on good, old-fashioned gags. The pace is a little uneven, perhaps because the script runs very tight around the speedy storyline, but the comedy is not. Brody is given plenty of space to go wild; by the end his influence on the film is much bigger than his screen time. The same could be said on a lesser scale for Colin Hanks as vice-principal Brandon and Yeardley Smith as a teacher, who do typically fine jobs. Bush and Marquette, the two young leads, hold up their end of the bargain very well. This is a movie that deserves to find wide distribution. If Pineapple Express, a perfectly entertaining movie in its own way, can find a decent audience, then for this to be left on the shelf is criminal. If you get the chance and you're even remotely curious, see it. Once again: it's very, very funny.
