jewlshrd The part when the Principal was saying some rules, like the ones No Going to the Bathroom and No After School Activities. When he said cutting the A.V. Club and when he said that, Jeanne ( Isabela Moner, 14 ) said "Oh sh-- " and it was cut off. It was also funny with the cartoon like characters in the movie.
fashionred Amazing movie. Great soundtrack, jokes and staging. This movie would be great by itself but living up to a book that it doesn't follow the backstory of is what lets it down.Leo, Rafes brother, was Rafes twin and died when they were born. Georgia was adopted after Leo had passed. Georgia has blond hair and a hip deformation. They neglected other parts of not only the title book but "My brother is a big fat liar" as well.Still a great movie regardless but it was really a let down.
kyrogasai SPOILER ALERTthis movie is such a waste of time. As an avid reader of the books I was offended by how they treated this series. by adding boob jokes and toilet humor. After watching this I was wondering if they even realized that this was a book.Literally the only good part was the animations from Rafes notebook. You know its sad when the only good parts last 5 minutes long and aren't even the main story.Also their is a large amount of racism like when the janitor say a Japanese battle cry, The sister of RAfe (georgia) says "did you just have a stroke?" and the principal forcing the vice principal (who is black) to always carry all of his stuff and forcing her to get fired with him. The main character Rafe is such an over-privileged douche bag. Thinking that the world always must revolve around him. If one thing doesn't work out for him he gets revenge. In a way worse way like vandalism. Middle school worst years of my life? more like worst adaptation of my life. this is also a pandering piece of garbage
david-sarkies I'm really not all that sure why I watched this – basically it is a kid's version of Ferris Bueler's Day Out, and it wasn't even that good. Okay, maybe it had something to do with the protagonist wanting to get one up on the principle, particularly since the principle is one of those principles that wants to run his school like a concentration camp. The other thing is that here in Australia we really don't have Middle School, well yes and no – but not really like what they have in the United States. However, I wanted to get out of the house, and this was the only movie that I hadn't seen, so I decided to give it a shot.Well, it turned out to be pretty shocking, but then again I probably was looking for a movie to give a low rating to. Also, being stuck in a cinema full of kids, and being the only adult there without any kids in tow, does sort of make me feel like the odd one out. However, I guess it had something to do with the Ferris Beuler's element that initially attracted me to it, and also that there was nothing else on. However the film was predictable, especially when this kid pops up that looks a lot like our protagonist, I pretty quickly worked out that he was imaginary. As for the step father – well, he was shocking, and incredibly stereotypical as well. Mind you the whole horrible stepmom, stepdad, sort of creates this image of the single guy without any kids marrying a single mom – you are basically going to expect the kids to hate you because that is what they are being fed (and I have seen it happen).Anyway, the film involves our protagonist starting a new school to discover that the principle, as I mentioned, is running it like a prison. He is stuck in the remedial class, which are full of the never-do-wells. However, the principle has also this standardised test coming up, and he wants his school to ace it as well. However, as it turns out, our protagonist wants to teach the principle a lesson, and goes out of his way to break as many rules as possible, without actually getting caught. In the end, as we can probably work out, we know who's going to win in the end – it's a no brainer.
