Movie Reviews of Three O'Clock High
Movie Review: A Forgotten Gem
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the best high school movies of the 80's. I loved it then and love it now.Movie Review: 'Three O'Clock High' (Universal Studios) Running time:97 min.
Summary: 3 Stars
Good little comedy/drama that's pretty much aimed toward males between the ages of 13 to 28.Things get crazy when super straight-laced high school newspaper writer Jerry Mitchell(Casey Siemasako,heck he makes Ward Cleaver look wild))tries to arrange to do a special story on the JUST transfered infamous legend-in-his-own-mind muscle bound bully student Buddy Revell(Richard Tyson).Important factor that Mitchell was totally unaware of is that Revell simply 'doesn't like to be touched'.It appears that NOTHING can stop the fight the two are supposed to have promptly at 3pm after that day of school lets out.I haven't seen many movies where the entire plot takes place within a six hour time span.Most memorable segment of this flick is the last twenty minutes.The two duke it out and if you haven't seen this movie before,I certainly won't ruin it for you here.Very climactic ending is all I'll say.You might want to rent it before maybe buying a copy.Movie Review: Funny Movie

As a teenager, I really got a kick out of watching Three O' Clock High and decided to purchase the DVD from Columbia House. Now, I've watched Three O' Clock High several times as an teenager and was really upset to find scenes that I'd remembered from the movie missing. In fact, there are a few scenes deleted from the movie's original version which is why I'm only giving the movie a three star rating. Had the movie been released on DVD without deleted scenes, I would have giving the movie five stars, which it truly deserves.Movie Review: Ehh!? What was I excited about?

I bought this Movie because I remember seeing it when I was young and thought it was great. Now that ive viewed it again im wondering why I thought it was so wonderful. It has it`s charm but I just cant go for it anymore.
This movie reminds me of a tennagers long wet dream filled with High School fears and anxieties that are present in anyones life at that age, rather than anything real. It might have worked if at the end of this movie we would see Jerry Mithchel waking up from what was only a dream, and then as he get`s to School, dazed, drowsy, uneventfull, a School chum comes up to him and tells him something that reminds him of his dream, exactly like it was in his dream, which causes him to freak out! and then the movie ends there. Now that would have been cool!
So in that respect I think the Movie had potential but as it is I cant go for it because of the last scene where he kisses the teacher in front of all the other kids, who believes that would ever happen in real life? not in front of everyone anyway, hehheh!
Movie Review: What a mess
Summary: 1 Stars
After a minor misunderstanding, a geeky high school student finds that he must fight the school bully at three o'clock and spends the whole of the day trying to get out of it.
I don't often say this in reviews, but, wow, this film was bad. Given that it was made in 1987, I can accept the fact that the premise is far-fetched and that the script boarders on surreal, but what I can't accept is the total lack of character development and the gaping holes in the script. A lot of what happens in this film just does not make sense, even within the film's own reality and the characters are so thinly drawn that by the end I didn't know enough about any of them to care what happened to them. In fact, I actually found myself actively disliking the main character and his sister, and his best friend, and... well, you get the idea. The only character whom I found remotely interesting was the bully, and even then, very few of the questions raised about him are ever answered.
There were many really great teenage movies made in the 1980's ("Adventures in Babysitting", "Heathers", just about anything written by John Hughes). Do yourself a favour and watch one of them instead.
