A terrible movie that has become a phenomenon. The reason why is because parents are too protective and sheltering of their kids nowadays, and
middle school kids and anyone younger is curious and asking questions about what high school is like. Instead of using more realistic movies based on
high school life like
Fast Times At Ridgemont High or Superbad, they use this shit as an example. This movie makes them super happy and optimistic, they become obsessed with it, which has made it probably the most overrated and overmarketed movies of all time.
This is probably one of the main reasons why High School Freshmen have a tendency to act so retarded, because they are convinced that High School is like some 'fairy tale musical'. High School students should(hopefully) know better.
Anyone over the age of 14 who likes this movie should be slapped.
