The story... This film, produced by the creators of the "Naked Gun" series, takes on the grim subject of inner city high schools, spoofing such movies as "Dangerous Minds" and "Stand and Deliver." The story concerns an ultra-idealistic teacher who tries to inspire his students to learn. But as with the "Naked Gun"-type films, the plot is merely an excuse for a rapid-fire string of jokes and sight gags that send-up "ghetto life" cliches. [More]

Except for dated homages to Deer Hunter and Rebel Without a Cause, High tries to squeeze guffaws out of the crumbling educational system, not exactly gut-buster material.

The normally riotous Lovitz flunks the test in this farcical school daze. There's nothing remotely academic about Bochner's High School High

Strings together hilarious series of gags at the beginning and end, but in the middle High School High makes the mistake of having a story.
