Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal. The disparate group includes rebel John, princess Claire, outcast Allison, brainy Brian and Andrew, the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.

I put off watching this movie because the ending is over used in the mainstream, but damn, it works so fucking well.

I watched this movie on an airplane, but I was watching it with the person in front of me (They had no clue) Very fun and distracting!

Cute film that demonstrates school archetypes brilliantly. Aged okay but doesn’t have the same gravitas as it maybe once did

The simplistic setup leaves so much room for you to get up close and personal with each character. Not usually my genre, but I enjoyed it.

Deserves its status as a classic. Five teenagers in detention peeling the onion of their lives, personalities and problems. Delightful!

Fired from his band and hard up for cash, guitarist and vocalist Dewey Finn finagles his way into a job as a fifth-grade substitute teacher at a private school, where he secretly begins teaching his students the finer points of rock 'n' roll. The school's hard-nosed principal is rightly suspicious of Finn's activities. But Finn's roommate remains in the dark about what he's doing.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

But when circumstances separate Buzz and Woody from their owner, the duo eventually learns to put aside their differences.

Finding Nemo
Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken from his Great Barrier Reef home to a dentist's office aquarium.
