I really enjoyed this movie alot. I wasn't aware it was a documentary when I ordered it either, but it brought back memories! This is exactly how I remember high school, and I made my daughter watch it so she can see how high school is - she will be a freshman next year. Of course some of it was just for the cameras, but still accurate.

This movie really reminded me of how serious everything seemed in high school and how silly it really all was. You just needed to get things done and have a little fun while doing. High school caste systems can be harsh, it is sad really. Anyway, this was a good movie. Enjoy!

Terrible. I've been a high school teacher for many years. Not realistic... and very boring.
