Movie Info
The first feature film from director Phil Joanou (State of Grace), Three O' Clock High chronicles a high school nerd's much hyped after-school bout with the infamous class bully. When the impish Jerry Mitchell (Casey Siemaszko) is assigned to interview the new transfer student with a supposedly violent past, Buddy Revell (Richard Tyson), he makes the fatal mistake of touching his subject. Revell, who hates being touched, responds by challenging the unwilling Mitchell to a fight at three o'clock

All Critics (12) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (3) | DVD (3)
A better than average high-school comedy stylishly directed by a young Phil (State of Grace) Joanou.
The screenplay writers throw the story away in a finale which celebrates the machismo the rest of the film mocks.
A quick burst of harmless fun, featuring stunning camerawork by Barry Sonnenfeld
Hilarious little cult film about the perils of high school
Personally, speaking as a life-long Shmoe, I think it rocks. So I'm saying own it; but at least rent it if you've never seen it before.
