Three O'Clock High

Release Year: 1987
Review: 'Three O'clock High' is one of those 80's high school comedies that is wrought with camp and and should be a terrible movie, but you just have too much fun watching it to mind. It follows the oh-so-familiar plot of the geek having to overcome some obstacle to gain acceptance and popularity. In this case that obstacle is a bully. Not just any bully, but a very adult looking felon who has near superhuman strength and is on a mission to beat up the hero after school. Yes, the plot is ridiculous and the film doesn't go two minutes without running into a cliche, but you can't really expect great cinema here. It's a fun, campy, high school comedy that doesn't take its self too seriously and should entertain.
Rating: 3/5
