The Prankster

I saw this on cable, and I was hoping it was a quirky independent comedy. For a movie called "Prankster," the comedy was lacking. The dialog was outdated. I was offended by a modern movie with themes such as "girls can't be pranksters." The wardrobe was dated, from the jocks in Letter jackets to geeks in orange slip on Vans. Could this be an 80s period piece? I am not sure. Nothing seemed to confirm the date. I was shocked at how this very 80's movie could be released in 2010. I thought the retro soundtrack was a selling point. Unfortunately, generic rip offs of Vampire Weekend songs made me change the channel before the halfway mark.

The Prankster, a local Bay Area production seemed like a great idea and the story I heard of from a friend seemed interesting so I watched it. Boy what a mistake that was. Being young I love high school movies, especially funny ones or twisted ones (Mean Girls Anyone?), but I have to say, this movie was poorly done. I mean, god, the few BIG PRANKS the kids played weren't even funny. And NO WAY DOES ANY OF US TALK LIKE THIS!!! Ha ha ha ha! I was laughing my *ss off when the girls would say "that's whack!" I never heard of that term, was it even a term? And if so, thank god it passed quickly. And parts of it seemed like they were filmed by my camcorder! Anyways, I thought I would save all of you the trouble and unfortunately, I would have to warn my friends to STAY AWAY FROM THIS Awful STUDENT FILM. I never saw it or heard of it in the movie theaters (and I go to almost every movie being a HUGE movie fan) so I am not even sure if this was a "REAL" movie. Probably some independent film made by someone fresh out of film school using mommy and daddy's money. The acting is pretty atrocious too, with the exception of a few small bright spots. Sorry to write a bad review, I never do, but I was REALLY disappointed after being referred to this movie and then wasting 2 hours watching it. Sorry guys and girls, but move along on this one and watch Mean Girls instead!

I really couldn't stop laughing.

This movie is one of my favorite new comedies. The film really nails down a funny side of high school life. With all of its pluses and minuses.

Of course not everyone's high school years were this much fun. But it seems like everyone's high school experiences SHOULD have been this much fun. If one word can describe this film, it's "FUN."

Amusing characters make up the cast. The stars are both funny and realistic. The actor's lines were just so hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing. The writing and the sarcasm were a scream.

This move could hit the big time once people hear about it.

its full of fun and pranks.. if you like American pie, you'd adore this movie. Not only is it realistic so teenagers can relate to some of the situations ,its also hilarious ,so your guaranteed to laugh your head off.I do every time I watch it.I would recommend this movie to any person that enjoyed Fast Times at Ridgemont High which was also a great movie. Not only did I love the storyline and plot but the actors fit the characters so well, they made them all seem so realistic.Go see this movie its awesome. This is an academy award winning film, just go in ready to laugh. I thought the writing had real wit, not to mention the hidden references and one liners that any film buff will appreciate

On my opinion this is a good movie witch reveal best what happens when there are a few pranksters in an university. The pranksters is a group of four students who plays pranks to their dean or to some of their colleges. The storyline is very good because the movie follows the life of one of the pranksters which wants to go to the college and he have to quit the pranksters group but the pranks is part of his life and he feels natural doing this. As the title shows this movie is about some pranksters so you will aspect to a lot of pranks, I honest did like all of their pranks, it were made with taste and i laughed a lot all the movie. I hope you'll like it as much as i did.Enjoy it!
