- While the cheese factor of this very dated teen comedy/satire will be enough for some, this movie falls short overall. The biggest problem is in the movie's lack of a clearly defined genre.

3 O Clock High is a great movie. I'm glad people are learning about it. It's up there with Pump up the Volume which came out around the same time. The Girl Next Door is kind of similar too but came out way later.

Three O'Clock High is a hoot and a half. The movie has no filler--fat to trim, no wasted scenes. Sonnenfeld's virtuoso camera work is the perfect vehicle for the material.
THREE O'CLOCK HIGH is (to me) one of the best high school movies of the 1980s because it is presented in a unique tone and style due to some amazing editing, shots, and cinematography. It is surreal film that has quite a few realistic moments and truths in it that it still fascinates me to this day.
Three O'Clock High is a 1987 American teen comedy film directed by Phil Joanou. The script, about a meek high schooler who is forced into a fight with an unstable new transfer student, is based on the high school experiences of screenwriters Richard Christian Matheson and Thomas Szollosi.
