High School Lover

Things I liked: - high production quality - great soundtrack (thank you for introducing me to Prince Rama - not a spoiler, its mentioned in the opening credits) - great acting and cast - a few great lines

I thought this movie worked except that the timeline was very quick and the resolution slightly unsatisfying. That said, it doesn't completely break reality more than the real world does.

I have weird taste in movies, but damn the haters, if you want to see some fun eye- candy marshmallow fluff give it a shot.

I guess the storyline is a 70s maybe 80s how-life-went-on.. nowadays unless in the rural areas, you're more jacked up than the movie suggests . Storyline is trivial and very predictible...acting is good at some parts but terrible at the argument/fighting/emotional ones.

Bottom line... if you're 10, you might learn... Otherwise ... don't bother!

This was so bad, the complete movie was a failure in my opinion. I can't believe that someone intentionally made it like this. Maybe it could be interesting if it was done differently, but it isn't, and in combination with acting, transitions between scenes, almost no story behind characters and cliche story, this film was just ridiculous. It managed to make mi smile becouse it was so bad, that was the only reaction I could give, and becouse of that it's gets 2 stars from me.

I'm old enough to remember when late 40 something Errol Flynn was dating 15 year old Beverly Aadland in the late 50s. Though the spread wasn't as big in High School Lover, I was kind of wondering who Francois Arnaud was channeling. Could it have been Errol Flynn?

James Franco's high school age daughter Paulina Singer gets comped into a private party with two of her friends Lana Gordon and Tyler Alvarez and she gets the hormones of late 20 something film star Arnaud in overdrive. As Franco is a director he's also in the business and his second wife Julia Jones and Arnaud have some history and it ain't good.

I don't need to tell you more. Arnaud gets some Flynn like publicity and a good deal more than that. Singer was legal so at least there aren't any rape charges.

What can I say High School Lover is as trashy as it gets. Although I can imagine a few years back it might have been the wish dream of any teen girl or gay teen boy to have say a Jonas brother waiting for school to let out on his motorcycle parked in front, these things truly don't happen in real life.

Speaking of gay boys Tyler Alvarez gives a nice positive performance of a gay teen. He's on the lacrosse team and apparently in this high school nobody really cares. Alvarez, Singer, and their friend Lena Gordon are like an R rated version of Lizzie McGuire and her two friends.

I liked how Alvarez played his role and how it was written. Too bad it's part of such trash.

Actually this happens in real life more than you know or more than we think. I won't give out any Spoilers. But my Suggestions would be. Try and live a Simply Lifestyle. Dating someone famous as well as a millionaire does not make your life necessarily Better. First sign of trouble in a relationship. RUN!!!
