On a bet, a gridiron hero at John Hughes High School sets out to turn a bespectacled plain Jane into a beautiful and popular prom queen in this outrageous send-up of the teen movies of the 1980s and '90s.
One of the better spoofs movie from the zeroes, before it all ended up being that shit that is epic movie and their ilk. It’s not as good as the Blazing saddles, loaded gun or Austin powers, but it’s still really genre savvy, and I do love my high school movie. It spoofs all the right movie I love from the 80s and 90s. It’s a movie of who is who of up and coming actors in both tv and film. Chris Evans is actually quite funny, and love all the small cameos from the movie it spoofs. And I do have a soft heart for Jamie Pressly. It has really 00s soundtrack that really works for the genre. There are some genuinely funny scenes in the movie. I especially love the scenes, where the white girls insist they didn’t still the Afro-American cheerleader’s routine. And then starts by singing “We are black…” or the Tourette’s cheerleader. It’s not art, but It’s definitely one of my favourite guilty pleasure together with “Euro trip”. Part of Junesploitation - Day 18 – High School
