April 7, 2009 - As senior year draws to a close and the ever-important senior prom approaches, high-school husband and wife Gwen and Holden couldn't be happier. But after a major-league slip and the machinations of Gwen's conniving rival, Hilary, the young couple's marriage turns south. Writer/director Sean P. Cannon brings us a tale of prom queens, sex, school daze, sex and more sex.
Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. SEX! That's the movie! I know that mankind is a flawed and imperfect species. Every year we further along our planet's destruction, our morals slip further and interspecies violence rises. I'd like to think that if some higher power decided to punish humanity for our wicked ways, well, he'd show us American High School. Yes, this movie is the bottom of the barrel.
Having the ... ahem ... honor of reviewing several of the more recent National Lampoon movies, I was pretty much convinced that I'd seen the worst of the worst. Oh no. Then this movie came along and reminded me that there is always a rung below.
Looking closer at the movie (great ...), the title makes it seem as if this is supposed to be a relatable, all-American look at high school, something that boils down the essence of that time period everyone experiences. I think the filmmakers tried to say that "American" was the name of the school, but it wasn't really emphasized.
Now, I know that some people get lucky during those four years, but unless I missed something, I wasn't aware that sex was all anyone cared about. I mean yeah, that's the supposedly funny point of the movie, but plausibility can only be stretched so far. What kind of school lets students drop F-bombs during assembly speeches, or allows the male nurse to blatantly harass the female students?
One of the main conflicts going on involves main character Gwen's concern that she'll be labeled as the school slut after a lusty encounter with her husband is accidentally broadcast via intercom to the entire school. Now hold on a second. We have the art teacher (played by Playboy model Nikki Ziering) walking around in her underwear and posing topless; we have the principal constantly feeling up his willing assistants; we have people literally having sex in the hallway; and Gwen is worried about her sexual image? Did the person who wrote this major plot thread actually read the rest of the script?
