Trivia:

Was originally going to be titled "10 Things", but it was changed because it was too similar to 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) (another high school-based comedy). Screenwriter Jon Land came up the title Dirty Deeds after hearing the AC DC song, "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap". The song just so happens to be about High School.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Zach is sitting in the diner with the Ferrari Owner/Mob Boss the guy behind the Mob Boss has his hat on and then the camera pans to Zach and pans back and his hat is off. Not in time for the hat to be taken off.

Another Bad Teen Comedy

I really wanted to like this movie, and I do believe that a can appreciate a movie for what it is - but this movie just stinks...

The script is lame and even the deeds are rather boring. The acting is terrible and the casting is even worse, like for example the Bad Jock who looks more than a make-up wearing drama student! All the typical stereotypes are in here, but they seem to know their stereotypes! I thought the concept was kinda interesting, but they didn't make it work, and then the movie is plagued by really unnecessary nudity (and for me to say nudity is unnecessary is a big shock!)

So, lets sum it up – its not funny, don't bother with this one!
