I remember watching this when it first came out. A bit like Airplane and Naked Gun etc, you notice more jokes every time you watch it. May be an element of nostalgia in this for me but definitely better if you've seen dangerous minds and all those others.

Another great classic comedy by the great filmmaker 'David Zucker' (Naked Gun, Airplane!)
Jon Lovitz stars with Tia Carrera to bring a great urban comedy about two educators teaching bad kids in a rough high school.
Jon Lovitz plays Richard Clark who believes that there is no such thing as a 'Bad Kid'. Richard trys to make the students want to learn but he'll have trouble doing that in this comedy.
But he'll find away because 'There's a new teacha in the Hood!'

This Film Is Not In Widescreen!

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This Film Is Not In Widescreen!
If it is please tell me where I can get it.
I Love just about Everything The Zucker Brothers have had a hand in.
From "The Naked Gun" to "Airplane" to the lesser known,
"Brain Donors" & "Top Secret".
This Movie is pretty damn funny, but some of the "Jokes" are totally ruined
by the "Pan & Scan" Version of this movie.
So if you are into this Brand of humour, You will like this dvd,
This review only give lesser stars because the movie isnt in widescreen.
So 4 Stars for the actual movie,
1 Star deducted for being Pan & scan (Scam)

DJMasterK - This movie is NOT Widescreen!!!

Yes, it is true. Although Amazon.com advertised it as being in both formats, it is only in Full Screen format. I bought it and I have to return it now.
For who wants to know, Columbia House has it in both formats (it came out on the market a few years earlier and they still have it).

Underrated parody
13 Aug 2010
Format:DVD
Man, you people are harsh. I didnt think this movie was bad at all. Heck, the first time I saw I fell in love with its stupidity. Back when I first saw it, I would've gave a five stars but now its four stars because the movie loses steam after the i hour mark and the jokes start to become hit or miss. But for the first hour this film is a riot.
The plot is that Richard Clark(Jon Lovitz) leaves Wellington Academy to go teach at Marion Barry High School against his father's best wishes. Richard believes that he can make a difference there and on his way he falls for a gorgeous teacher called Victoria Chappell(Tia Carrere).
High School High was a spoof on those troubled high school kids movies like Dangerous Minds, Lean On Me and Stand And Deliver. Unlike the crap that passes for parody(like anything by Seltzer and Friedberg) HSH hits all its targets and actually has a story tied to the spoof. Compare that with spoofs that are just about picking on pop culture and meaningless gags. Jon Lovitz was hysterical and as a comedic actor he never got enough credit. Tia Carrere was gorgeous as well as funny and Louise Fletcher was funny to as the irascible school principal. Mekhi Phifer as well as the supporting cast add to the laughs too. If you can appreciate parodies that arent extremely gross you might like this one. I feel its one of the most underrated spoofs ever produced by the Zucker Brothers. Two thumbs up.
