High School trailer, you guys (headphones UP):

Adrian Brody and Colin Hanks, together on the big screen at long last. This is our generation’s Heat! Wait, though, what is this? From the IMDB description:

A random drug test coincides with a high school valedictorian’s first hit of pot. With his college scholarship at stake, he enlists the school’s biggest stoner to help nullify the results of the screening – by getting the entire student body high.

Oh, OK. Good plan! No wonder he is the valedictorian. Now, just to clarify, this is a horror movie? Because this trailer is terrifying. “Imagine Colin Hanks’s Orange County, but he’s 25 years older, and with more Adrian Brody’s-skeleton-exhumed-from-an-alley-behind-St.-Mark’s-Place-based nightmares.” Got it. (Thanks for the tip, Alex Blagg.)

  1. Move over, “Heathers”, I have a new movie to help me get through my own high school experiences

  2. So, it’s Da Ali G movie, right?

  3. Why did they let him in a school? They shouldn’t let him in a school.

  4. This plan totally works, Its like that time I was accused of being a cult leader, and I got everyone to commit suicide because I can’t be accused of leading anything if all of my followers ate strychnine cookies!

  5. When ‘Ain’t it Cool News’ is giving you props, you’ve got a one-way ticket to the $3 bin at CVS.

    • No way! I totally trust AICN-writer Quint’s opinion. QUINT! When he says it’s “Pure entertainment!” he doesn’t mean that this entertainment has been cut or stepped on in any way. The street value of this entertainment, says QUINT, is very valuable.

  6. I will be watching it solely because that little, fat, blonde boy from Bad Santa is in it.

  7. as a concerned parent, i will take responsibility for covering birdie’s ears/eyes

    • I always cover the dog’s eyes when there are violent/naughty/potentially disturbing scenes involving animals on the television! one hand for his eyes, one hand for mine (I’m a wuss).

  8. The Pianist 2: Music Class, Muthafuckas!!!

  9. Harold & Kumar go to Film-Making 101

  10. Since when is Adrien Brody Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne?

  11. I spotted the kid from the AT&T commercials and the kid from Bad Santa.

    *saving in Netflix queue*

  12. So now there appending blog comments to trailers, apparently? Everyone here suddenly has a purpose!

  13. Even though they probably took some liberties with the inspiring true story, I’ll still be there opening day.

  14. I gave myself a better black eye for my Ashley Todd (who?) Halloween costume 2 years ago. Hire me as a makeup artist, Hollywood!

  15. At least they didn’t call it School Daze? #tryingtofindthesilverlininghere

  16. Thank you Adrian Brody for giving me this picture for next time I just can’t quite think of something funny to say:

  17. For the first time in years, my first response to a trailer isn’t “Needs moar Adrian Brody.”

  18. Before you read what i have to say know that i was gone for 4 hours and 20 minutes for spring break and i WAS having a good time, i made a video about it as soon as i got back from vacation which i was going to post today, until one of my only TRUE friends showed me HIGH school’s NEW Teaser Trailer and he showed me that HIGH school WAS MAKING FUN OF US AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I will post the video i recorded after i got back from spring break later on today or tommorow..I WAS in a good mood, but not now.. This is fucking ridiculous.. ABSOLUTELY ABSURD IM SICK OF THE VIOLENCE AND HATRED BEING SPEWED TORWARDS MY HIGH ASS PEOPLES!!!!!!!!!!! AND I WILL NOT HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    YOU MUST STOP THIS PLEASE HIGH School
    I’M BEGGING YOU DON’T MAKE FUN OF STONERS/VALEDICTORIANS AGAIN!!!!
    IT WILL RECREATE ALL OF THE PAIN WE’VE SUFFERED
    AND MORE HATRED TORWARDS US AGAIN!!!

    THIS IS A DIRECT ATTACK TORWARDS THE POTHEAD COMMUNITY AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE HEARD WHAT I HAVE HAD TO SAY BUT YOU DO NOT LISTEN!!!!
    OPEN UP YOUR DAMN EARS Creators of HIGH School!!!! YOU’RE THE CAUSE OF KIDS IN SCHOOLS BEING BULLIED AND PICKED ON ALL ACROSS THE WORLD!!!! They Be Hating on My Weed Strains, Angry at my Bong, and talkin trash about my one hitter setup! I MEAN NO HARM ALL I’M TRYING TO DO IS PUT A STOP TO THIS VIOLENCE THAT YOU STUPID ASSES HAVE CREATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    YOU HAVE MADE US THE EVIL ONES AGAIN !! WE ARE NOT EVIL!!!!!!
    YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    “HIGH School” is Destroying the morals of the Youth and Poisoning the minds of our pothead generation with hate..and I for one am not going to stand by and watch my people become stereotyped again.
    HIGH School,
    you disgust me.

  19. Not be all judgmental, but this movie sounds like a whore.

  20. I think this is just bonus footage from King Kong.

  21. you guys, i found the poster for this movie:

  22. Oh, I get it! It’s “High” School, you know, because of drugs. That’s clever, I guess! I didn’t really understand at first, but I get it now!

  23. This is not “a stoner epic”, critics. A stoner epic is when I realize that I have a half-full box of Life cereal in the pantry.

  24. Awesome, there was just a “big” drug bust at one of the local high schools and everyone is acting so shocked. The 21-Jump Streeter was, I hear, posing as a foreign exchange student and some of the students mentioned that they wondered why he didn’t seem to have much of an accent. Which is pretty astute for this part of Texas. Unlike the surprise being expressed that there is nothing interesting to do but drugs if you are a teenager in this part of Texas. I think DUH Aficionado covered the story.

    So if this film ever screens down here all of the parents of the affected students should go see this movie so they can see what was really going on. Except that it won’t, and the locals are too lazy and/or terrified to make the 45-minute drive to the nearest metropolitan area.

  25. If the best blurb you can take from a Variety interview is “madcap romp,” your film is more or less bulletproof. Congratulations to everyone involved!

  26. Brody looks like a lock-in for his second Oscar.

  27. Can I have your cookie recipe? I have a few “followers” of my own I need to take care of…
