Literally 'HIGH' School

Ingredients for a sex-comedy: Couple of hot chicks, series of practical jokes that we literally can not think of doing in real life, one crazy friend, little or more of smoke up depends on what the script demands, broken pieces of comedy gathered from other sex-com films & finally a love story that will come out of no-where & of course a bad guy everybody is scared of messing with.




Even though we know all of this but once in a while a movie like this comes up & we want to see it. And what could be a better time for it then Summer. Well by the time Indian audience will be able to see it, it would be winter. Anyways the agenda is that the movie HIGH School is just around the corner. Nope, it has nothing to do with High School musical. High School is a movie where in the word HIGH is suppose to be taken in a literal sense.


Two friends have just discovered what smoking up feels like & now they do it very often. A school principal in fear that the school might be leading in a wrong direction decides to held an inspection day for students medical check up. Fearing (which is the nerd guy out of two friends) that he might be expelled from school, his friend comes up with an idea. The idea is to get the entire school high & then the fun begins.


Somehow the script had managed to get to strong characters Adrien Brody (The Pianist) & Colin Hanks (son of Tom Hanks). The rest of the star cast is either new or unknown. In my opinion the trailer works, creates the sparks because the fresh casting brings in fresh look to the film. Check it out yourself & be the judge.



The film is an Official selection of the Sundance Festival. It releases on 1st June 2012 (USA). Worldwide TBC.
