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

PG-13, 1 hr. 30 min.

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.

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.
