American High School (2009)

Overrated and overhyped

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I don't think the creators of this movie have ever seen a high school let alone attended one. The vice principal/ art teacher looks younger than some of her students. In fact, everyone in the movie looks close to 30, teachers and students, all except Gwen's dad who is probably 50 and really in porn. I've seen better acting in porn and not good ones, more like the Cinemax ones. I never thought I'd say this but Talan Torriero is the most talented actor in the entire movie. The cinematographer, director, and script supervisor must all have been on shrooms when creating this masterpiece. Their cars don't even have license plates. The main character is married and in high school and no one seems to know why. This train-wreck is Laguna Beach minus the acting, continuity, attractive youngsters, and interesting story. There is more male and female nudity and cursing than in any public institution in the country. And the lead character was caught having sex at school by everyone. Later she is in danger of being expelled not for this but for possibly being pregnant, which is VERY illegal. I don't see how anyone from this project could ever expect to be taken seriously again.

Every event was over-done. The basics about high school were set fine, but then it was all just too exaggerated. The acting wasn't all that great for the most part. The girl drama between Gwen and Hilary just seemed so fake. It wasn't too funny. There were only a few scenes and characters who made me laugh. This film was super sexual, a little too much if you ask me. A dad marrying some chick from his daughter's school? Haha woah, right? Oh, the actors are quite attractive, again, for the most part. If you're super bored, you can watch it. Wouldn't imagine it being anyone's favorite movie. Surely wasn't mine. basically, it was a movie for teenagers, with nothing better to do, who wanted to watch everyone get it on.

I don't know why the hell such a movie was created. This will surely corrupt the mind of the adults even. If you really want to watch go watch a Porn Title instead. This is going no where. I believe they were trying to do something like American pie and ended up with the worst movie I've ever seen. This is a disgrace to Hollywood and is this what we should think of the American culture? Someone might argue that this is just a funny movie, nothing serious. But believe me this is a waste of time. I didn't even watched it to the end. Simply because the the father and daughter relationship is heavily humiliated in this. I would not be surprised if the next title is about incest.

It's not "food for thought" or THE empowering movie of the decade. Let's be realistic, people. This movie has 1 objective - and it's to make you laugh. Does it succeed? Above & beyond!!! Give it a shot. There are worst things out there in the theaters.::cough cough:: HANNA MONTANA, THE MOVIE. grossss. I think I just threw up a lil for typing it out.Aubrey O'Day's performance was fantastic. Granted, she is already comfortable with being in front of the camera since her reality TV series "Making the Band" with P.Diddy and with being on the cover of last month's PlayBoy. ..so so so sexy.. She impressed me with her acting skills and please let's not forget Nikki Ziring CALIENTE performance. LITERALLY. lolThis film is a adolescent's dream since the plot has a high involvement of fornication. But the story stems from high school issues not normally discussed and brought up... like marriage. Overall, American High School gets a B+ from me. It was fun, entertaining and hilarioussss!
