To me, this movie is perfection.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

best movie i've ever seen.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

This is a strange movie, as you can tell by reading the split in the reviews, but I think you have to understand that it belongs in the Glee or Strangers with Candy genre --- broad-brush satire that is well aware of how fake and silly it is --- not the Beverly Hills 90210 or Saved by the Bell earnest after school genre.So the question, then, is how well does it perform within its genre? I think the answer is adequately, but not great. There are a few touches that are original and amusing, things like: the apparently deliberate choice of 30 yr old actors for the students, who therefore frequently can't be distinguished from the actors for the teachers. (This is even referenced/mocked at one point). Also the over-the-top awfulness of the wanna-be-cool Hollywood parent, or the lechery of the school principal. But overall the script is weak, not enough strong laughs, and some flat-out horrible scenes that are disgusting rather than amusing and that don't move the story along. I'd say if you have some reason to study this particular genre (parodies of high school TV/movies) it's worth seeing for completeness sake; but if you simply want to be amused by the genre you're better off watching reruns of Glee or Strangers with Candy (or Glee Gone to College aka Scream Queens). There remains scope for a good movie in this genre. The best apparently similar movies (like American Pie) are more teenager than high school; and most of the specifically high school parody movies are more from the point of view of the teacher and too earnest, ala Sex Ed, or too sucky ala Bad Teacher; or are pastiche (High School High).

i don't usually say this a lot but films like this kills more brain cells then alcohol or any other substance abuse does because films like this not only waste time and money but also works like a eraser for the human brains hard drive so if you have some good memories better avoid this at all costs,is there a script for this answer is hell no the director let all these people loose to do whatever they want,for people who look for nudity in these type of films will always fall for it American pie worked because it came at the right time and since then every single teenage or comedy films tried to ape it and failed bad even American pie's own sequels are not that great compared to the original.so what makes this movie different none it is absolute zero quality below level it is so beyond insulting that it haunts the soul for weeks there is something called common sense before any artistic medium is used by any filmmaker out there for the project regardless if it stays true to its genre still if there are flaws it can be forgiven but at least such project should have a actual plot otherwise it is just stupidity.in what part of the world this type of high school is located maybe i like to check it out where students and having open sex and doing nonsense films like this that promote poking fun at an educational institutions should be banned.the cast:what cast all of these actors are awful there are only 2 ladies that i liked and my god just what were they doing in this mess Jillian Murray is sexy but her role is useless & Aubrey O'Day oh god is she still in Danity Kane band or left it Aubrey got wasted her she should stick to music acting is not her game.the plot:now let us just look at the story surprise surprise there is no story here its the same old stuff repeated we have seen it all except Gwen Adams gets married at a very young age the rest of the story is nothing new her dad is a shameless guy and every other guy in school wants to get laid with her this is basically the whole film.men and women behaving badly what message this film gives is school and colleges are merely nothing but disco or cheap motels where people just come to fulfill their lust. i know its is for entertainment but there has to be some limit this one crossed it by miles,that school Principal is involved himself wow how cool is that.Overall American High School 2009 is one of the worst film ever made categorizing this in any genre would be a sin and crime my rating is 1/10:Skipp It.

American High School truly is the definition of classic American cinema. Not only is it though provoking and entertaining at the same time, it is one of the bravest films I have ever been privileged enough to experience. It was one of those rare diamonds in the rough, this film confronts sexism and the shows the way youth in America really is. Many people are too afraid to deal with the current issue of our youth getting betrothed or sex at such young age, but this film explores it in detail. The harsh realities of living in America today, have no where left to hide It is truly an enthralling and engaging cinematic experience, one you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. So please my friends, I implore you to take a few moments from your day and find the time to open your mind to a whole new world that you never before believed possible.

This might be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Just looking at the title, you already know that you're not going to watch an Oscar-winner. But this is 1 ½ hours that you'll never get back!!! Normally I'am well entertained with these "teenage-movies" - but throughout the whole movie I only laughed ONCE!!! Most likely, you will laugh to - and then be bored for the rest of the film just hoping that someone or something will put you out of your misery. If you're an American Pie-fan and regardless of how many times you've seen them before, see them just one more time before you spend your money on this! After reading this and you still want to see American High School - afterwards all I can say is: "I told you so!"
