Three O'Clock High is a entertaining and dated teen comedy from the 80's. This movie I can relate to pretty easily, as I got into a few fights in my youth that went down at the end of the school day. I like the film, but I can't stand the main character of the film Jerry, who is an annoying, unlikeable dweeb of which I would like to flush his face down the toilet bowl. Jerry provokes a new student Buddy Revell by trying to have a creepy, awkward conversation when the guy is trying to pee and grabbing his shoulder as well. Jerry did'nt even wash his hands before he grabbed Buddy's jacket. Buddy responds in kind by flushing Jerry's sneaker in the urinal and lets him know that after school they are going to have a fight in the parking lot. Jerry, being the spineless turd that he is tries in vain to get out of the fight and when he does "win" the fight with Buddy, he does not fight fair and has a lot of help. Buddy Revell is not a bully, but a misunderstood guy that likes to keep to himself and needs his own space. It is not his fault that people constantly challenge him and he beats them up, especially when people can't keep their hands to themselves. Jerry is a character that the audience is supposed to like and somehow this superdork is God's gift to women and is irressistble to the hot Goth girl, the popular 80's babe and the hot teacher. I found myself rooting for Buddy Revell, a guy with integrity, the real hero of the film. Three O'Clock High is very 80's and a pretty campy comedy, it does not hold up as well as some other movies from this time period, but is fairly entertaining as a whole, even though I absolutely cannot stand Jerry and would like to beat him senseless .
