Detention

With a serial killer on the loose, prom fast approaching, and the entire cast sentenced to detention, only a time-traveling bear can save the day!  Does that sound pretty stupid?  Yes, yes it does.  This film tries to pull of some sort of teen-horror-comedy caricature, but it just falls flat.  It's filled with annoying cliches - occasionally talking to camera, complete disregard for the seriousness of a situation, random tangential fly DNA - that serve no purpose but to let me use labels like "cheesy" and "stupid people".

It tries to be irreverent and hip, but it just isn't.

Detention
2011, 98 minutes, directed by Joseph Kahn
