Steve D Doesn't hold a candle to the original. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review Audience Member It's no Citizen Kane, but close. Corey Feldman plays Jessie, a protagonist straight out of works Dochevsky or Tolstoy. When this perfect soul is confronted with the corrupted high school administration, we are faced with a moral character study that digs deep into our psyche and offers us respite from a cold and cynical world. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member I guess you can say its a cult classic? either way I love this movie watch it every time I'm home sick to make me feel better. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A truly horrid piece of garbage. Nothing of note here other than the great Mary Warnov needing a paycheck, as she is the only thing decent about this film. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The more Corey movies I watch from the early 90s the more I wonder how anyone could have found him cool. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member You've got to feel sorry for Corey Feldman. After the big studio films dried up in the late '80's, the child star was relegated to making one or two direct-to-video features a year, but clearly no one told him that he wasn't cool anymore. In the embarrassingly belated follow-up "Rock and Roll High School Forever," the actor seems to be reluctant to admit that the gold old days have come to an end with his ridiculous haircut and Michael Jackson wardrobe. Perhaps even sadder still is the casting of young actor Evan Richards, a blatant Corey Haim lookalike, to further Feldman's denial. The film itself is a name-only sequel with virtually nothing in common with the original film (except for maybe a Ramones poster on Feldman's wall). The music is awful, the jokes are juvenile and any real story is non-existent, as this is your basic "rebels bucking the system" comedy where any actual laughs are nowhere to be found. The Allen Arkush film has hardly anything earth-shattering, but it did have a certain charm all its own. In this, somewhat humorous names (like authority figures named after types of cheese) and amateurish pranks pass for comedy, and even though the Ramones were not the makers first choice to play in the original, you'll miss their style of music here once you see Feldman lip sync to "I'm Walkin." "Rock and Roll High School Forever" will disappoint just about every fan of every genre. It's completely humorless and terribly un-hip.
