just like The Hills...but worse.

might have made an halfway decent vlog a la "Dr. Horrible", if it weren't for the acting, story, or production value. more than likely, the wrap party was more fun than the screening.

the eye candy however will make it worth the $3 you'll pay at the gas station for this direct to DVD stereotypical high school flick.

I am a huge fan of Aubrey O'Day, I think that anything she does is genius.

This movie is clearly in a way a spoof of all the "teenage" movies that have come out until this movie was released. It is meant to be so stupid that it is funny.

If you have a strange sense of comedy, you will love this movie! It is worth it!

this movie just reminds me of american pie. but cheaply made. i don't think this was a really good film. it was okay to watch once but twice no.

One can always hope, but expectations can be shattered so quickly. I believe one of the actors summed it up best in the deleted scenes commentary: ..."buy the American High School DVD - oh you already did suckers..."

This is a story of a SOCal high school filled with people aged 25 or older, a perverted administrative staff, including a sexist principal, a nude art teacher, a school nurse that tries to have sex with the students, and so on. Nicki Ziering gets plenty of boob time on screen, Aubrey O Day (another Playboy alum) tries to fill some lines out, and all of the guys walk around without shirts so the gals can have something to watch.

Haven't described the plot because there isn't one, but sufficed to say this film covers the last few months of a graduating class learning about life. But the way this group was written they could never have learned anything (even the lines). The deleted scenes total 20 minutes and have a built-in commentary from about six people having way too much fun laughing at themselves.

I can laugh at and love to watch corny high school/college films, but this didn't make the recommendation list. As the director said in commentary "get the pause button ready" when Ziering would be getting naked, obviously the reason they made the whole film.

If you want to laugh your head off, go out and buy this movie. If you are in the least bit depressed, if you are in the dumps with this economy, if you just broke up with your significent other, then run to get this flick. But word of warning. If you take this movie at face value or as in any way real, you will lose out. But if you view it as a parody, as broad slapstick, you will love it. It is a combination American Pie and Scrubs. It's like Woddy Allen let loose. It is downright dirty and silly which is part of its charm. Director Cannon is either a comic genius or he fell into this without knowing. (I'd love to see him work with Ben Stiller or Will Farrel - Cannon appears to have their crazy sense of humor.) He treats all his characters the same...he makes fun of them all. And in doing so, he is making fun of all the stupid teen sex comedies out there. No one can be taken seriously and I think this was done on purpose. Cannon paces things well. You are never bored. This movie is downright silly on purpose. The teens are bad but the adults are worse. The principal is a sleeze bag as is all his teachers and staff. The parents are worse than the kids. When it all ends and the smoke clears, you are left with a surrealistic comedy that is zanier than you have ever seen. This is a very good choice for a weekend afternoon popcorn flick with your best buddies.

ARE YOU ENTERTAINED!?!? this looks like a transitional movie for the disney channel audience, ween them on something that makes them cry back to mickey mouse's safe, oversized hands. make no mistake, you will cry. whether it be for the lack of storytelling, talentless directing, or actors that couldn't eat their way out of a paper bag, because all they know how to do is suck, and blow...no...american high school is quite possibly the ed wood jr plan 9 from outer space- of teen comedies. it's that wonderful. i'm waiting for the tim burton remake fifty years from now...with dakota fanning in the 'aubrey o'day' role, despite being decades too old at the time- would only add to the marvelous black hole of casting this movie employs on the viewer's senses. american high school is that impressive. buy it. buy it to show young snot-nosed-punk filmmakers what they'll be doing after an american education. and watch them cry- tears of "unfathomable sadness", as eric cartman of south park describes it. an absolute gem. crank these stars up to 11!

I bought the movie cuz I needed a laugh, and I did... a hella lot! It was fun to see all those MTV reality stars in a movie... that was funny in itself. Like the other, other dude said... it's a comedy --- not a tearjerker! Watch it for what movie are for - to be entertained!

This has got to be one of the worst movies ever made.I feel like i was ripped off even though i only paid a dollar to rent it.Please rent it first before you even think of buying it.I have not reviewed anything on amazon in a long time.But this movie was so bad i felt like i had to write a review.

I think this movie is really funny.

Like the other dude said, it doesn't really have a plot, but I mean...it's a comedy...the point is to laugh. If I want a movie to move me, I'll watch Ghost.

This movie is definitely a unique high school experience. I love the way in which the characters interacts, I was so blown away by Aubrey O'day, LIKE OMG.
