AWFUL!This movie is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. The main character was a horrible actor. The entire movie it seems as if he is trying to be Ryan Reynolds performance in Van Wilder and it doesn't happen.This movie has plot holes galore. And ten minutes in will leave you wondering if you missed something.The characters in this movie are either the obvious stereotype that we've seen a thousand time (The Overly Out Of Touch Stoner, The Cheating Football Playing Asshole Boyfriend, The Gorgeous Long Time Crush Of The Main Character (Who Is Still A Virgin... Somehow) etc.) or they are totally over the top and annoying (The Physically Violent Principal, The PETA Member Who Gives Up Her Morales After 2 Beers And A Bong Toke, etc.)This movie is the Dane Cook of movies. They took the best parts from all other teen movies, but made them so outrageous and obnoxious they not only aren't funny anymore, they actually inspire hatred and make one consider murder.Things This Movie Taught Me: - Mobsters don't know how to lock doors, always carry copious amounts of cocaine, and are very trusting of people they just met - All black people know at least one Hip Hop singer - If you really love a girl and she's just about to sleep with someone else... Don't worry, Something always goes wrong - High School students are very accepting of the outsider especially when he dances like an idiot by him self, in fact his individualism will cause them to accept him even more - Beautiful women take being tricked very well, in fact they can not tell the difference between a legit photographer and an 18 year old with a fake mustache. But don't worry even if they do figure it out IT'S OK!!! Just admit you tricked them and they will take their clothes off and stay for your party, because they have nothing better to do with their life's.I have more but, you get the idea. As Jeffery Ross would say:This movie had to be filmed in Hi-Def, because the only way someone would enjoy it is if they were High and Deaf.

Senior loser Adam Harris (Gary Lundy) is invited to the senior skip day party at Principal Dickwalder's (Larry Miller) house. But he accidentally slips the news to the Principal, and the whole senior class now wants his blood.But Adam and his two friends come up with a plan - have the party at his house instead! So he invites all the seniors to come, and a huge party ensues, with the Principal driving all over town trying to find out where the senior skip day party is at."Senior Skip Day" tries too hard to be this generation's "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," but fails in every aspect. Sure, some of the jokes are funny, but the stock characters and lack of character development in the lead all leads the viewer to an overall disappointing feeling after viewing this direct-to-DVD teenage comedy.

Not bad at all. Worth a look.If you're looking for a film with meaning keep on looking. If you want a little escapist fun then have a look.Unlike another reviewer I do not think this is as good as Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The script isn't really all that similar except for the psycho prinicpal. Ferris was "king of the school" skips class for a day of fun. This movie is "school loser throws a party for the whole class and becomes semi-cool". They do have characters talking to the screen in common. I do agree it's pretty much a copy of the premise though.The main difference between the 2 movies is the quality of the cast. These guys aren't terrible, and there are actually some pretty good performances, but they don't match the quality of the Ferris cast.The male lead, Gary Lundy, is okay if a bit blah. His unrequited love interest is played in a likable and competent way by Kayla Ewell. Both are basically unknowns, at least to me. Tara Reid is pretty good although in a fairly small part. She doesn't look as hot as she used to but then she's not playing a teen lead anymore. And Lea Thompson still looks too good to be anybody's mom, but does a nice job. Larry Miller is kind of irritating but does okay. Clint Howard is the same as always, no Macbeth but a quirky and funny character.Not much else to say really. I didn't bust a gut laughing but I enjoyed it.

It was alright. Larry Miller is one of my favorite actors for adult authority roles (ah, 10 Things I Hate About You, good times). Also, I've had a crush on Lea Thompson since Caroline in the City. I'm cool like that.Anywho, as far teen comedies go, this one didn't make me throw my hands up and yell "I WASH MY HANDS OF YOU!" like most do. I actually liked it well enough.The story was pretty run-of-the-mill, but the way it runs is pretty entertaining. And the slap sticky nature of the random old people make me laugh out loud.All in all, I give it a 6.5/10, just because it's refreshing from American Pie and Harold and Kumar nasty humor, and is a little more goofy and fun.
