Leave your thoughts about Three O'Clock High.
| HollywoodInToto.comChristian TotoThree O'Clock High deserves a slot next to other '80s classics like "Ferris Bueller," "Sixteen Candles" and "Better Off Dead. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A very unique and entertaining high school comedy with an important message... |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordThree O'Clock High is one of those ideas that must have sounded wonderful at one point, and to be fair it still sounds better than the pop-out plots of most teen-explo projects. It turns out, however, to have surprisingly little range. Once the story is under way, there's nowhere for it to go but home room, lunch and out the door. [13 Oct 1987, p.C7] |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloDated '80s teen comedy has bullying, cursing, violence. |
| Under the RadarAustin TrunickThree O'Clock High is one of the more fun, semi-forgotten teen films of the 1980s. |
| Chicago TribuneJohanna SteinmetzThe film jabs so relentlessly at the viscera that the audience is never allowed to notice anything independently; if Mr. Joanou wants you to spot a license plate, for instance, he drives the car right into a floor-level camera. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAt the time, I was never interested in getting into a fight with the toughest kid in high school. And now that I'm not in high school, I am even less interested in seeing a movie on the subject, particularly a bad one. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe screenplay writers throw the story away in a finale which celebrates the machismo the rest of the film mocks. |
| User ReviewTONY AThis was a great find buried in the pile of 80s teen comedies. While most people remember Ferris, Breakfast, Sixteen and the rest ..this is one that you MUST add to your viewing. |
| User ReviewLachlan BOne of the best 80's teen movies! Very similar feeling to that of Ferris Bueler's Day Off and Better off Dead. Love this movie! |
