A loveable high school comedy. It's not the funniest movie in the world, but it does make you laugh. I'm a sucker for good cameos, and this movie is chock full of them.

I'm a sucker for good cameos, and this movie is chock full of them. My biggest complaint is the scene where the actors are miming to a funk song, and it shows the guitar pretend playing the bassline.

The movie was predictable and cliché, but it was funny, interesting and pretty entertaining. It ultimately felt like a parody of other teen movies and it's not a bad thing at all.
