Need a movie recommendation? This is the place to go. Here at Movie Watch we review the latest box office hits as well as rentals in the interest of letting movie lovers know whether they're Worth a Watch!

jo's comment: Hey everyone, this week's theme is all about your favorite high school movies. I love all of the classic 80's John Hughes movies, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Weird Science, and more. They're pretty dead on as to how kids act in high school. It's cool to see that we really haven't changed that much from the 80's. If you haven't seen one of the movies I've listed above, you should really check them out, they're all amazing movies that any teenager (and adult) would love!

Hich School Movies

Mean Girls


Rated: PG13
Genre: Comedy
I love Mean Girls. I suppose it's very far from reality, but everyone loves a good high school comedy. I'm not the biggest fan of Lindsay Lohan, but this is one of her better movies. Rachel McAdams is brilliant as always, and the colourful and entertaining characters make Mean Girls the ultimate high school classic!
I give this movie: 4 out of 5 stars! Lana, 18 from South Africa

jo's comment: I always wonder what it would be like to be an extra in the cat fight scene, where the whole school is involved. How fun would that be?

She's All That


Rated: PG13
Genre: Comedy
She's all that is a high school movie. It was my first sleepover movie that I watched when I was younger! It's all about high school and the stereotypes that they have in high school. You can tell its Hollywood.. but still very good! I loved that movie.. and I loved the actors!
I give this movie: 4 out of 5 stars! Amanda from Canada

High School Musical series


Rated: PG
Genre: Family
Um, EW.

This movie has caused a lame little revolution among tweens. It's poppy and cheesy and just AWFUL. I'm sure pretty much everyone and their MOTHER either knows of High School Musical or has seen it... but if you're one of the lucky few that haven't, please spare yourselves.
I give this movie:   out of 5 stars! Megz from United States

10 Things I Hate About You


Rated: PG13
Genre:  
I was obsessed with this film around the age of 9, me and my best friend would watch it every day after school. Its stereotypical but quirky at the same time, as well as being a modern take of Shakespeare's 'Taming Of The Shrew'.
Its just one of those films you can watch over and over.
I give this movie: 5 out of 5 stars! Louuuu, 15 from England

jo's comment: I love this movie, it's funny no matter how many times you watch it.

Mean Girls


Rated: PG13
Genre: Comedy
It's funny , a typical teen comedy, but it actually portrays high school in a realistic-ish way.
I give this movie: 3 out of 5 stars! weezer, 14 from Kentucky, USA

The Columnist

JoHello world, I'm jo. I'm eighteen and am a sophomore at my local community college, trying to get a bunch of credits done before I transfer to (hopefully) the University of Washington. I'm kind of bubbly, kind of ditzy, and kind of obsessed with movies. I love making random short films with my friends, painting, bugging my sisters with my horrible guitar-playing, and eating at the local 24 hour restaurant at one o'clock in the morning.
