Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever

From this film, you can see why Corey Feldman faded into oblivion. In this remake/sequel to Rock N Roll High School (1979), Corey and his band of people who look to old for high school attend Reagan High which is built on the grounds of the high school blown up in the previous movie. Each week they celebrate the blowing up of the school by being disruptive until a new principal comes to town, Dr. Vader. She tries to put an end to this, but not before Corey blows up the high school yet again. Easy to see why the cast of no-names stayed that way, lame script, poor writing, bad acting. Avoid this movie if you can, and see the original instead, its much, much better.

The only interesting thing about this movie is that the only returning actor plays a different character who is exactly the same as her original character. Feldman's Michael Jackson impersonation and his terrible band playing 40 year old pop songs was not a joke. That's their sad attempt at musical credibility. I would have rather seen Corey Haim go to real high school.

This is far from the best movie- but you can't help but like it way more then you should. A lot of aspects go nowhere (what's up with Tabitha?) and most of the gags have been done elsewhere, but the appliance worship kills me dead every time. Having been a lot like the heroes while I was in highschool probably helps too- unless you ever honestly wanted juvenile revenge on the homecoming queen, you're probably not going to care much for the movie. But hey, it's got an over enthusiastic Mojo Nixon. What more do you really need?

Not many people know that there was a sequel made to "Rock 'n' Roll High School", even with fans of the original movie. Seeing this sequel, it doesn't take long watching it to figure out why it isn't better known. To be fair, this looks a lot better than other Roger Corman movies of this period - it had something of a budget. And the movie is directed and acted with a great amount of enthusiasm. But I couldn't warm up to it in the end. It has a sloppy script, with the movie frequently abandoning telling the (thin) story to show us unrelated vignettes. And the music isn't very good, either doing third-rate versions of classic songs or unremarkable new songs (though the song that plays during the opening credits is okay.) Also, Corey Feldman simply can't sing that well. Still, it keeps your attention as to what new kind of craziness will happen next. If you watch it, I recommend you watch it when your expectations are low.

This is one of the worst, least entertaining movies I have ever seen. It doesn't even deserve to be on comedy central. If you have some good taste in movies then you should never see this abomination of a film. If you like Corey Feldmen movies I recommend Stand By Me, or The Goonies, or National Lampoon's Last Resort. Wow, this movie is awful!!!
