A completely original take on teen rebels, that from the first scene shows it confident, comedic take. In almost every scene, every plot point there is are comedic touches that had me laughing out loud. Slapstick, puns, quick retorts, absurdity upon absurdity build pitch perfect zaniness.
Two transfer students decide (separately) to re-invent themselves as "delinquents', the first step of which (of course!) is to get a new haircut. Confident (?) in their new look, they go to first class and we are off.
They almost immediately get called out by the school bullies, and are (separately) challenged to a fight, a brilliantly staged, Marx Brothers-esque battle ensues and our hero's, somehow, emerge victorious, as friends and as the new kings of the school.
Subsequent episodes ratchet up the action, with challenges and battles from other schools, groups and others, and our hero's develop into fully rounded, surprising and compelling characters. This is a gem, well worth a watch!!
