Welcome to Highschool

Warning: Spoilers
This review contains some very mild spoilers. The "director", Rene Vienet has taken a Japanese sexploitation movie and instead of translating the dialog, has added subtitles which are his own creation and have noting to do with the original film. However clever this may sound, the new dialog is adolescent to the extreme of being childish and shallow. The formula is something like this. Have the characters say something crude of dirty whenever possible, and when there is conflict have it be a revolt of the masses against the oppression of the "establishment". Back when I was in high-school we were scolded if we talked dirty, and because we were under the control of parents, teachers (the movie is set in a school) and just about everyone over 21, the revolt of the masses against the establishment seemed pretty good to me. If I had been someone with no imagination, I might have written something as puerile, vacant and loaded with worn-out clichés as these subtitles - assuming I was on phyc drugs and having a bad day after a lobotomy. Despite the childish nature of the material, it could have been saved with a little wit, but wit is nowhere to be seen or heard. It took about 5 min before it got boring (being generous) and after that I kept myself entertained by wondering what the real plot and dialog was. I ended up (just before I stopped watching it altogether) wishing I had the original film with the original dialog. It seemed much more entertaining - which isn't saying a lot. You might enjoy this if you are male, between ages of 11 and 15, have a rebellious bent, and have never seen any good parody or satire before. But if you are looking for a film on social justice, or a witty dirty movie, or just something that is mildly witty or entertaining on even the lowest level - this is not it.
