  • Principal Takes A Holiday
  • Go back to school with HOME IMPROVEMENT'S Zachery Ty Bryan, starring as John Scaduto, a teenage prankster who holds the world record for disciplinary demerits! John's parents pose a challenge for his senior semester: not one demerit, or he loses a $10,000 inheritance from his grandmother. The term begins with a demerit as he undermines his unpopular principal and then ... accidentally sends him on an unscheduled sabbatical -- in a mental institution! This clears the way for his grandest prank of all ... recruiting an impostor to pose as the principal and erase the demerit! Comedian Kevin Nealon (TV's SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, THE WEDDING SINGER, HAPPY GILMORE) arrives on the scene as the principal for hire -- but when he starts to take his job too seriously, it's going to be just the beginning of John Scaduto's education.
