Robert P @Superbad Oct 26, 2026 High School is a *2* star Movie! See more Alan G @Theflash56 Oct 25, 2026 This is why america is the way it is. Advising people to spike food with pot. This is not funny. It is sick. The producers must have been stoned to make this movie. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 24, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Jul 31, 2020 Pretty hilarious im surprised i just now heard of this movie. See more May 31, 2020 I was extremely disappointed in this film. I turned it off after 35 minutes. The idea for the story sounded really good; the story goes nowhere. The acting is dull and unconvincing. This could have been fun to watch, but wasn't. See more Mar 5, 2020 This movie sucked ass in comedy, just everything of its film was not even remotely funny. It's pretty stupid if you ask me. Do yourself a favor don't watch it okay. See more Read all reviews
