Yes this is a convoluted, over the top, cinematically offensive mess of a film but it's also one of the coolest films I've seen in quite some time. Embracing every tired cliché and exploiting the hell out of them Detention is a hard movie to even sum up. If in fact you can even call it one. I'm sure as many people will hate it as love it. The bizarre social subtext and plastic infusion of stereotypes flipped on their sides while on acid lends itself to an always surprising and creative vibe that works more than not. Sure the film feels a little long in it's three ring circus finale trying to make insane sense of the events that proceeded it but the film works best when just making clever stabs at modern teen thinking and astute observations on the trendiness of trends. Joseph Kahn redeems himself of the cinematic stink from his previous eye popping but soulless feature Torque even adding in a few jokes at his expense.A music video director magnet of Britney Spears fame he unleashes Detention with a visual pizazz and over the top cinematic foray into smart thinking for 90s bad cinema buffs. Being a child of that era I couldn't help but appreciate all the references and the way it all added up, seeing the blatant irony in the films entirety it's hard for me not too overly praise the films bombastic effect but a second more in tuned watch I feel would expose the films faults and maybe a sense of brilliance I may have created. but at this point Detention is just really cool!

Well, this movie was an insult to the craft. I have never actually seen a movie that is worse than this one, and I've seen lot of movies. Just this week, I watched Scary or Die, Taken 3 and Patrick: Evil Awakens. These movies are, by no means, good, but they didn't make me ashamed to admit that I enjoy film. This movie, however, did. Before I continue, I'd like to say that there was much more wrong with the movie than 1000 words can hold. For starters, it is trying to be the Scream of our generation. The stereotypical teenagers being killed off one by one, constantly referencing movies, and pointing out clichés. This movie though, was absolutely terrible. The characters were unlikeable, and unbearably predictable. The visual effects were cool to a certain extent, but they couldn't even afford to break real glass. Here's where I'll get into the REALLY crappy aspects of the movie. Time travel. It's a thing. And I won't go into much detail, but let me just say: It makes no damn sense. Well, I'm running out of characters to use, but another HUGE issue about this movie has not yet been brought to light. One of our characters is part fly. Why? It actually serves no purpose in this story. He pukes acid, can sprout wings, and is super strong (a typical fly trait). We are led to believe that this will at some point come back as a plot point, but he gets butchered soon after this realization comes to light. Seriously. So, watch Detention if you so wish, but be prepared for shockingly poor acting, predictable story progression, nonsensical plot, serious plot-point abandonment, and really BAD character names. All in all, this is the worst movie that I've seen in years. And I have seen Patrick: Evil Awakens.

First off: If you doubt to watch this movie, Definitely watch it. Detention is one of the first movies that actually made me laugh. At first sight I thought that Detention was some kind of 'Scary Movie' like movie, but it wasn't. It contains 'real' humor. at the beginning of the movie I found it fun immediately. with the big moving on-screen titles, But the film is fast, and sometimes even too fast, but that is one of the nice things about this film. I also really liked the music, even the worst music, a cover of MMBop, fitted well in this film. I watched detention 2 times already and I'm planning to watch it again with my friends. I hope you find my review use full, it's my first. Cheers.

This movie, while it is extremely fast paced and may overload many people's brains, is refreshing. I wont lie when the movie starts off I was a little apprehensive, I thought about turning it off but I am glad I stuck with it because it completely turned around. It's one of those that I know and WANT to watch more than once to catch what I missed. It's silly good fun, I wouldn't watch it to be scared or have my mind probed but it was different. I give this title a 8/10 because its way different than horror flicks that have been coming out, it has a great soundtrack, and it was shot beautify. The movie is an extra treat for those born in the 90s because there is a lot of references to 90s culture.

Detention is a movie that fits into its OWN CATEGORY which is "Doesn't have to make sense, to be good" and most people don't understand that or get it. It is NOT for everyone, and only a few will manage to stomach the movie. You either LOVE IT or Don't Get it (HATE IT).. Plot: 3/5 3+ Those who say this movie didn't have a plot? clearly do not know the definition of a "plot", and over use their lack of real criticism of movies which makes them look like a total dumb-ass. Clearly it was obvious that the Plot was: a bunch of teenagers dealing with their high school career while romance, humor, sarcasm, and bullying is involved (A true high school experience). While a killer is terrorizing the town, and they have to survive through their last year of high school. That isn't even the TWIST. Clearly the plot was all over the place and that's why it loses points. Those who are not used to the whole crazy plots, and fast paced movies will not survive Detention; but if you are? then this will be a ride to remember and easily becomes a CULT CLASSIC. Characters: 3/5 3+ All the characters did well and blend into the movie exactly as they should. Some might ask if the acting was good?.. well the characters worked very well with the movie so the answer you can say is... yeah they did very well. Take in mind this movie is crazy, fast paced, and random. (but in a good way). SO the characters obviously have to be like the movie. The characters are also over the top but it's high school, and they have to be dramatic to make it feel like a realistic high school scene. So yes most of the characters are over the top, and rather a bit annoying. Humor: 4/5 4+ - This movie is HILARIOUS. In fact people keep comparing it to "Scott Pilgrim Vs The World", But honestly this movie is WAY FUNNIER in my opinion. I didn't even laugh in the movie Scott Pilgrim. The humor was so dull and over the top, I only smirked a few times through out the movie. I still can not believe people still think that movie is funny. Detention also features about hundreds of 90s reference and although I do love the 90s (one of my favorite years). It Felt like it was over the top, and they could have cut a bit on that. If you did like Scott Pilgrim, or movies like "Trick R Treat". THEN YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE. Visuals: 5/5 5+ - Wow this movie is super damn pretty. The visuals were great and made everything pop including those funny movie texts, but of course the looks aren't everything. People have to understand this is a SXSW film accepted movie. It's not made by the big guys like Warner Bros, Lionsgate etc. Still it is one of the funniest, and entertaining movies I have seen, and good enough for its film title. This is literally one of my favorite movies, and had a blast. if I were you I go watch it like 3 times! Points: 15/20 My Rate: 7.5/10 IMDb Rate: 5.7 <--- I wouldn't trust this if I were you, IMDb should have given it at least 6.0-6.5 Although this movie is very funny, and fun, you still have to keep in mind that this movie IS NOT FOR EVERYONE, and that is actually a problem. Decent movies are known to captivate most of the audience, but Detention only captivates about half of the audience. Although, if this is your kind of movie then it clearly gets B+ to A-

Sorry but this movie is just a waste of time. It tries very hard to be cool and quirky but sadly it ends up just being really annoying. Some folks have compared this to the Scream movies - What an insult to the Scream movies!! (which by the way I adore) Now THERE is an example of funny, quirky, etc. The plot of this one (what there was of it) was difficult to follow, kept jumping about and left me feeling very irritated. Personally, I didn't find it at all funny - it tried too hard and ended up failing on all levels. I didn't care about any of the characters but was only too glad to see the back of them as they each met their ends at the hands of the laughable 'villain'. My only regret is that he didn't get them all. Wish I hadn't bothered.

yes, some may say this movie is stupid or hard to follow and yes, i'm 15 and i loved it but i think it was aimed at a younger audience with all of the social media related themes and references. i personally thought it was really good and absolutely funny. many people are saying that the movie is hard to follow or that it is too fast paced but hey, i'm 15 and if i can follow it then i think you could too. there are so many themes horror, comedy, and a hint of sci-fi maybe a few more. The actors/actresses are awesome too. i already love Josh Hutcherson not just because of his looks or The Hunger Games but because he is a really good actor he is amazing in this movie as Clapton Davis and i also love Spencer Locke (Ione) in Detention she was really funny and i remember watching her on Ned's Declassified School Survial Guide as Bitsy. Overall, i think that this is an awesome movie and i would recommend it.

Dafidil LanappeNov 22, 2022

Wow don't know what to say. It is a non-funny, attempting to be cool,disaster. A bad story line that drags on and has been covered several times before. The gore in this film is too much for some, and definitely too much for a 15 rating. As a very squeamish person, I almost had to put the film off due to this. This film also contains very shoddy acting from supposedly the best young actors around. Avoid this film if possible.
