    The greatest film ever made

    American High School truly is the definition of classic American cinema. Not only is it though provoking and entertaining at the same time, it is one of the bravest films I have ever been privileged enough to experience. It was one of those rare diamonds in the rough, this film confronts sexism and the shows the way youth in America really is. Many people are too afraid to deal with the current issue of our youth getting betrothed or sex at such young age, but this film explores it in detail. The harsh realities of living in America today, have no where left to hide It is truly an enthralling and engaging cinematic experience, one you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. So please my friends, I implore you to take a few moments from your day and find the time to open your mind to a whole new world that you never before believed possible.

    Pointless!

    This might be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Just looking at the title, you already know that you're not going to watch an Oscar-winner. But this is 1 ½ hours that you'll never get back!!! Normally I'am well entertained with these "teenage-movies" - but throughout the whole movie I only laughed ONCE!!! Most likely, you will laugh to - and then be bored for the rest of the film just hoping that someone or something will put you out of your misery. If you're an American Pie-fan and regardless of how many times you've seen them before, see them just one more time before you spend your money on this! After reading this and you still want to see American High School - afterwards all I can say is: "I told you so!"

    This movie sucks, don't waste your time or money.

    Oh my god! I have never seen such an awful movie in my life, i wasted 1 and a half hours of my life that i will never get back. The acting is so fake, the jokes are not even funny & the best part the is the dad keeps on appearing in school like he owned the fkin school.

    I would never usually even bother to come up here, register an account and submit an review about a movie. But this movie was so bad that i just had to do it, please stop making awful movies like this again! I would rather watch Hannah Montah the movie rather then watching this again, its really awful.

    A teacher in art class wearing lingerie and exposing her boobs? My god how stupider can this movie get!!

    Don't EVER WATCH THIS AWFUL MOVIE!!!!

    Finally... a movie that is insulting to the eyes and ears

    This film is without a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

    The acting is so unbelievably bad. A second grade class musical has more convincing line delivery than any of these actors manage to achieve. The directing makes most youtube videos look like Citizen Kane. They could have saved a lot of money and went straight for a crew members cell phone without the cinematography losing a thing. The soundtrack is a listing of generic rock sounds. This is all without saying a thing about the plot, or as it should be known in this movie, the loosely pieced story that is just an excuse to show breasts and try as hard as possible to appeal to all of the teenage sensibilities. I don't know how much anyone got paid to be involved in this movie, but it was too much. Suffice it to say, all copies of this movie be destroyed immediately.

    OMG, this is the worst movie I've seen in my life!

    OK, I just spent an hour and a half watching this movie, another half hour making a "WTF" face and staring at the screen in disbelief, and some 10 minutes to write this comment, so all in all I've wasted more than two hours of my life.

    First I'd like to say that I really, and I mean really, enjoy this type of movies, when I don't expect much and just want to relax my brain and enjoy in a few laughs. Not only that there were NO funny scenes in this movie (literally), but I also didn't relax, I mean this was brain torture! The characters are annoying, the plot is *put your favorite swear word here* stupid, the acting was awful (I have to give some credit to Jillian Murray though, she did OK, but that's about it, all the other actors sucked), the directing was even worse and I really can't find not one positive thing here. I don't know how many votes it takes to get to the bottom 100 list, but I hope it makes it there soon.

    This is the first time I am giving a 1/10 to a movie (I usually try to find at least something good) and the first time I'm writing a comment here, but I just had to share my anger. Please don't watch this, staring at the wall for an hour and a half is more exciting, trust me.
