I went in expecting another typical movie of the genre but came away very surprised. It is a classic? Well it might be close.
Justin Long was his typical likable self, and pulls off the lead with flying colors. He is funny when he needs to be, and inspiring as the leader of the outcasts who are in need of a home.
The plot is fairly original, it has some highs and lows but it keeps you interested in the outcome the entire time. The movie never seems to go over the top, and maintains a balance that most films of this type don't reach. It stays silly, but finds a workable realism that makes you feel like it could totally happen anywhere in any time.
Lewis Black is very funny as the only true teacher at S.H.I.T. and does his usual shtick well within the tone of the movie. The rest of the supporting cast does very well. I did not see one real weak character mixed in and no moments of wishing them off screen.
All in all it was a good movie. It is not overly hysterical but it does have some funny moments - it moves quickly but is not rushed - good characters and fun plot - bottom line is a decent chunk of entertainment value.
