Plot: Jon Lovitz stars in this spoof of high school movies along the lines of Dangerous Minds, stories of dedicated teachers in tough inner-city schools plagued by gangs and guns. (Yada, yada...) It ...( read more read more... )should come as no surprise that the film is made by the team that created Airplane! and the Naked Gun comedies. High School High is built upon the same brand of goofy, jokey humor, with gags about campus vending machines that dispense malt liquor and milk cartons with the assistant principal's face printed on the side. The story involves Lovitz's efforts to raise his students' grades while coping with criminals and falling for a fellow instructor (Tia Carrere). The film loses its novelty after a short while and the jokes begin to feel less and less funny until you're begging for the end. But the first part of the movie--when the premise is being set up--is pretty good. --Tom Keogh

    I like goofy movies but this one was just stupid. I barely even cracked a smile during this one. This was another movie where I found myself wishing it would end.

    Hehe, the old 'teacher moves to horrible high school, and sees hope in otherwise hopeless and gang-affiliated kids. This one is no spoof, but very funny nonetheless.

    You know the way you feel about weathermen? That's how I feel about Jon Lovitz...except when he was on Friends.

    When I first saw this I didnt get it, but seeing it a couple more times I think it's a great movie to kick back to and smoke like there's no tomorrow.

    This is another Lean on Me, Summer School, Stand and Deliver type of movie... but with a whole lot more comedic parts.

    I don't care what anyone says. I loved this movie when I was 12, and I still think it's funny as hell.

    Sadly enough, I watched this movie in the THEATRES when I was 10. I remember thinking how creepy Jon Lovitz was... not much has changed since

    Not funny and certainly not original, it is films like this that demonstrate why familiar names like Lovitz can be found next to your local Subway ad.

    The movie is not award winning, but funny as hell and John Lovitz gives an awesome comedic performance

    There is one line i liked in this movie... That's it... another unfortunate comedy for Tia Carrere (the only funny ones being the Wayne's World movies).

    Spoof movies suck. And Jon Lovitz makes me hate life. Tia Carrerre isn't even that hot. This movie's got nothing going for it.

    This movie is a stupid movie, horrible mocking movie, I don;t care about this garbage, waste of time. I hate Jon Lovitz movies, hes an idiot. Plus Tia Carrere is a D list Actor! Waynes world was the highlight of her career, pretty sad.
