Movie Review- Class of Nuke 'Em High

Class of Nuke 'Em High is another trashfest from Troma studios. They're not known for making good movies, but this was surprisingly entertaining. It definitely has its moments, and can be quite funny at times, but the overall poor quality of the movie negates the potential this film had. It's big on gore and cheap laughs, and short on just about everything else. The acting is rather uneven, ranging from passable to really corny, and this applies to the whole cast. The script is kinda funny at times, as I said, but the overall plot is lacking, and it really affects the last 30 minutes or so. The film editing is really poor here, too, and it gets really distracting at times, to the point where I was wondering why certain shots were even there. The gore factor is surprisingly sub-par for this type of movie, it's all really fake, and not in a laughable way. There's also a good bit of continuity errors and plot holes, which gets really annoying at times. It's the little things like that take away from the enjoyment of the film. But all the negative criticism aside, this is actually quite a funny movie at times, with a dark and goofy tone, particularly the humor based around the nuclear safety hazards. This isn't a profound movie by any means, but it's a mildly enjoyable 80 minutes if you've got to sit through it. But don't get your hopes up.
Quality: 1/5 Enjoyment: 3/5
