    Featured review

    if you like silly things, this is your kind of movie.

    this is for all intensive purposes the rival schools / project justice movie. remove the numerous schools and consolidate them into one school with student group factions, you have the setting for volcano high. this film is not to be watched if you exclusively want to see an action film. there is no way around the fact that the action sequences are lacking. on the other hand, as a comedy, this film is a great success. if you take the fight sequences as something intended to make you chuckle, you will find that they are indeed quite enjoyable. the casting for the supporting characters was good, but i would say that the vice-principle and the protagonist were both excellently cast. the main character is a treat on screen. i highly recommend this movie for people able to laugh at silly things. if you are able to laugh at production elements, you would probably also appreciate this movie. as for myself, silly things + silly production elements = awesome. this film is a gem.
