After-School Special (2004)
After-School gets an A+
I love high school dramas and I sometimes wish I could magically become part of one, that I would suddenly wake up and be "Buffy" or Claire Daines in "My So Called Life". With movies like "Elle Enchanted" and TV series tending towards "The OC" as the high school standard, I have been wary of continuing my fascination. I have no problem with 28 year-olds playing high schoolers or revenge plots that rival "Kill Bill", but I need my dramas to be fun and twisted, just like high school. After seeing "After-School Special" I now dream of playing basketball on the same team as the movie's protagonist. The movie perfectly balances the off-balanced feel of high school with excellent cinematography. Thank you to the makers of "After-School Special", for a wonderful new daydream.
