Customer Reviews of Three O'Clock High
The Everyman (or Teenager) Three O'Clock High is one of my ten favorite movies. It follows the story of Jerry Mitchell, played by Casey Siemaszko, as he is challenged to an after school fight by the new goon Buddy Revell, played by Richard Tyson. Jerry who is an otherwise good student tries many different stunts to get detention after school so he won't have to face Buddy.
Three O'Clock High is a coming of age teenage 80s flick. It just happens to be the best one of that genre. The characters are much more than stereotypical stock characters (the jock, the nerd, the drop out). Jerry represents roughly 80 percent of the high school population of America. He has his clique and his after school activities and he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The duel in the parking lot after achool is a little anticlimatic; but, it can't ruin the trip on the way there. This is a movie that most people will be able to identify with.
Great Teen Film
Ask any "child of the 80's" and they'll give you the usual list of classic "teen films" - Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, etc... But there's a good chance they'll fail to mention one that really stands out: Three O'Clock High. It takes place over the course of a single school day. Jerry Mitchell (Casey Siemaszko) is a nerdy, wimpy kid assigned to tackle a frightening assignemnt: write a school newspaper story on an incorrigible badass bully names Buddy Revell (Richard Tyson). Not knowing Buddy's temperamental nature, and inability to forgive a grudge, he gets Buddy upset enough to make him set up a fight after school. At three o'clock, natch. Jerry spends the day trying to avoid the confrontation with Buddy, and everything he tries simply gets him in trouble with school authorities, and with Buddy himself. And the moment of truth draws closer... Three O'Clock High is basically High Noon in high school, but it's done in such a fresh and interesting way. The cinematography is spare and clean, with some deft camera moves. The dialogue is pretty crisp, and occasionally hits the mark dead-on. It's surreal, but any recent ex-high schooler will easily recognize the "types" depicted here. END
Great comedy-drama, even better than da BREAKFAST CLUB!
To make one thing clear in front; THE BREAKFAST CLUB is one of those films I'll even love and won't get enough of, when I've even seen a thousand times! Because of its typical 80s-flair, and the great intense actings, it is for me one of the greatest films ever made!
Wouldn't there be THREE O`CLOCK HIGH - a laconic highschool-comedy-drama with a hilariously extravagant story and a standout in acting-qualities!
Casey Sziemasko has to match Richard Tyson in a fight he can't win! So he does anything to prevent the fight - funny, but also dramatic situations follow and in the end anything has to come how it had to come!
GO WATCH IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
