Detention (2011)

Wow don't know what to say.

It is a non-funny, attempting to be cool,disaster.

A bad story line that drags on and has been covered several times before.

The gore in this film is too much for some, and definitely too much for a 15 rating. As a very squeamish person, I almost had to put the film off due to this.

This film also contains very shoddy acting from supposedly the best young actors around.

Avoid this film if possible.

Fmovies: Saw this film not really expecting too much but boy was I in for a good time. Its fun, fast paced and never takes its self too seriously. I found the cast to be engaging and enjoyable to watch, with possibly the exception of Dane Cook but that guy just irks me anyway.The effects may have lacked a certain ''Hollywood'' polish but did the trick just fine and in my opinion complimented the feel of the movie well. There are lots of riffs and references to other movies/actors, trying to spot them all just adds to the overall entertainment value. Certainly requires more than one viewing to take it all in.

There are a lot worse ways to kill an hour and a half.

See it for yourself.

This movie is absolutely terrible, now I love movies like this usually so I was excited to watch it. This movie never seemed to get to the point adding in a huge amount of random things they really didn't need to "entertain" the viewer, the plot isn't even clear as the movie fades away to a ton of different mini stories confusing the viewer to the point that it becomes hard to watch along with its terrible sense of humor with jokes about fashion and over exaggerated stereotypes of teenagers with a cliché cast this is probably the worst comedy movie I've ever seen. Please save yourself from watching this piece of garbage, but if you have 93 minutes to spare you can have yourself a "Detention".

Detention fmovies. Anyone with anything bad to say about this movie is out to lunch...This is a really cool take on a slasher movie you wouldn't expect. The movie is super well cool and extremely stylish. A quality young cast, no annoying characters. Really interestingly written and off the wall in the best possible way...This movie really exceeded my expectations. I'd put this up there with Cabin in the Woods for most interesting and unique horror movies I've seen this year. This movie is must see for fans of cool, unique, hip horror movies. I'm really hoping they come up with a sequel to this movie. There's lots they could still do with the characters and environment they created in this masterpiece of gnarly cinema.

This movie, while it is extremely fast paced and may overload many people's brains, is refreshing. I wont lie when the movie starts off I was a little apprehensive, I thought about turning it off but I am glad I stuck with it because it completely turned around. It's one of those that I know and WANT to watch more than once to catch what I missed. It's silly good fun, I wouldn't watch it to be scared or have my mind probed but it was different. I give this title a 8/10 because its way different than horror flicks that have been coming out, it has a great soundtrack, and it was shot beautify. The movie is an extra treat for those born in the 90s because there is a lot of references to 90s culture.

Yes this is a convoluted, over the top, cinematically offensive mess of a film but it's also one of the coolest films I've seen in quite some time. Embracing every tired cliché and exploiting the hell out of them Detention is a hard movie to even sum up. If in fact you can even call it one. I'm sure as many people will hate it as love it. The bizarre social subtext and plastic infusion of stereotypes flipped on their sides while on acid lends itself to an always surprising and creative vibe that works more than not. Sure the film feels a little long in it's three ring circus finale trying to make insane sense of the events that proceeded it but the film works best when just making clever stabs at modern teen thinking and astute observations on the trendiness of trends. Joseph Kahn redeems himself of the cinematic stink from his previous eye popping but soulless feature Torque even adding in a few jokes at his expense.A music video director magnet of Britney Spears fame he unleashes Detention with a visual pizazz and over the top cinematic foray into smart thinking for 90s bad cinema buffs. Being a child of that era I couldn't help but appreciate all the references and the way it all added up, seeing the blatant irony in the films entirety it's hard for me not too overly praise the films bombastic effect but a second more in tuned watch I feel would expose the films faults and maybe a sense of brilliance I may have created. but at this point Detention is just really cool!
