Proof that the popular kid at school isn't always based on substance

Rating: 5/10 (26 August 2014)

(43%) I know next to nothing of the TV show, but that said I still find it hard to even somewhat understand the massive amounts of glowing reviews, and vast popularity this movie has. There's a knowing eye to some of its more ludicrous situations, yet there's clichés abound from both its high school comedy and buddy cop premise, resulting in a movie that feels like two movies I've already seen before only done better rather than just one. This isn't terrible though, as there are a few amusing parts, and the two leads are likable, but it still misses the mark more times than it hits, and the Starsky and Hutch movie was funnier, more enjoyable and better.
