Summary: 5 Stars
As Recess School's Out opens, it is the last day of school of the 3rd street kids. Tj Detwiler (Andy Lawerence) is sad to hear that his friends Vince, Mikey, Gretchen, Gus and Spineill are all heading off for vacious summer camps. And T.J is the only one not going to camp. So the first few days of summer vacation, T.J sees a laser being shot out of his school. He tells his parents and they don't belive him. He tells the cops and they don't belive him. He even tells Princple Prickly. Prickly agress to search the school with T.J. but disappears. So T.J. gets his older sister to drive him to the cities his friends are. VInce (Ricky D'Shon), Mikey, (Jason Davis), Gretchen (Ashley Johnson), Gus (Courtland Mead) and Spineill thinks he is making it all up just to get them home.
But the problem is summer camp. T.J will get his sister to pick up at night and drive them back in the morning. Even his friends report the things going on and the cops don't believe them or a fat staff memember. They say they will report the case to Jackie Chan. And tells the staff memember to go home and take a rest. If you like this then check out the school kids if you haven't seen it or check this out if you have seen the show but not the movie.
Summary of Recess - School's Out
The Third Street Elementary School kids are teaming up to save summer vacation for kids all over the world in Disney's RECESS: SCHOOL'S OUT -- the hit theatrical movie that The Washington Post calls "Great Fun!" The school year is finally ending, and T.J. Detweiler is looking forward to summer. But boredom quickly sets in when his friends leave for camp -- until T.J. uncovers an evil plot to do away with summer vacation! A crazy former principal, Dr. Benedict, is planning to use a laser beam to alter the weather and create permanent winter. Faced with the dire threat of year-round school, T.J. rounds up the RECESS gang and bands together with some unexpected allies -- Miss Finster and Principal Prickly -- in a nonstop adventure to save everyone's summer break. As the kids discover the heroes inside themselves, a platoon of wacky characters, far-out music, and sci-fi surprises turn this madcap mission into a major victory for fun!Disney's Recess: School's Out dipped in and out of theaters faster than fans of the cable TV show could snap their lunch boxes shut--kind of nice for parents whose idea of grown-up detention is sitting through such fly-by-night kiddie features. Now that home screenings are an option, though, plan for the ages 5-and-older set to settle in for reruns. Also plan to get sucked in yourself--if the screwball plot doesn't do it, the soundtrack will. While TJ and Principal Prickly (the latter the unfortunate bearer of the "saggy butt" that becomes this movie's clunkiest running gag) bust in on a crew of fiendish would-be teachers during summer break, slices of vintage grooviness--Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild," Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermints," and Robert Goulet's "Green Tambourine" among them--get you cheering along, whether you're 3 or 43. The reason for all the retro funkiness revolves around the chief bad guy, Phil Benedict, a one-time educational visionary and former Prickly schoolmate. Back in the day, Benedict was a radical school revolutionary, but his manifesto for better test scores misfired when it called for a ban on recess, a concept so barbaric it got him canned from a cushy government job. Now, undeterred in his mission to make life miserable for kids, he's hatching a switcheroo scheme that will forever pull the shade on summer and thus summer vacation. Predictably, right at trigger time, TJ, Prickly, and the gang roar in to the rescue. It's an ending that's as pat as any on the TV show, but so what--this is a movie that aims for summer-linen lightness. Just as the Fifth Dimension promise on the soundtrack, it lets the sunshine, as well as a few well-timed chuckles, in. --Tammy La Gorce
