High School Record
Four awkward 17-year-olds struggle through their senior year. Like most high school students, they ride a continual wave of embarrassment: crappy after-school jobs, attempted sex in the science room, tinfoil shorts, guitar-strumming hippie teachers and brushes with the law. The only difference is that their moments of humiliation are caught on tape--our gang of four are the subjects of a documentary shot by fellow classmates.

Amateur movie with Big budget
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
A great portrayal of the microcosm of the American high school experience. This is an brilliant film on multiple levels. Both witty and humorous the film presents an adult viewpoint on the teenage experience without being preachy or dumbed-down (like many high school films). The acting is great, the scenes are well-written, and the dialog is spot-on. It takes a little bit to become accustom to the style of the film, but ultimately you become completely engaged with the originality of everything the film has to offer. With the similarities of the truthful awkwardness and sincere characters of Freaks and Geeks (without the clichés), High School Record is film that many can relate to and I highly recommend checking it out.
This movie was very, very strange and very, very funny. All of the actors are quite real and very odd. The overall "look" of the film was different, too, sort of dreamy and bleached-out, which only added to the spacey, fumbling, weird vibe of the whole thing.It's not for everyone, I mean, it's not what you would call "mainstream" but that is what I liked about it. It's unlike anything I have ever seen before . . . unpredictable, with a weird rhythm and punch lines in the strangest places. The kids are so heartbreakingly goofy (and pimply) that you can't help but feel for them. In other words, these are far from "hollywoodized" versions of teenagers.All of, which for me, makes it a good thing.
I saw this film at Sundance this year and at first I didn't know what to think. The film is very raw and almost appears to be something you can make. That is NOT the case. Once the film gets going you get hooked. The story is solid and does a great job building up the plot and characters which is impressive because of the nature of the film. Basically, its not like all the rest of the films you see. The characters are so unique and entertaining, they themselves make the movie. All in all, this movie was very well done for what it is. I recommend seeing it if you have an appetite for distinction. Please release this movie! And please give us some memorable quotes!
I saw this movie at Sundance 2005 and was stunned at how bad it was, although based on the catalog description I was excited to see it. Supposedly a "mockumentary" of two high school students making a documentary of high school life, it featured bad acting, bad directing, completely lack of engaging characters as written, and all-around is a total bust. I love good movies about high school, and this is not one of them. The characters are one-dimensional and self-consciously "cool" although they are supposed to be outcasts. You get the overall impression of a bunch of people sitting around making an on-purposely-bad movie to show their friends, yet somehow it got into Sundance. Mystifying.
