HIGH SCHOOL HIGH

Idealistic teacher Richard Clark (Jon Lovitz) leaves a posh private academy to take a job at crime-riddled inner-city Marion Barry High in this wild spoof of "Blackboard Jungle" and "Dangerous Minds"-style dramas. There's plenty of hilarity on hand as Clark romances a sexy co-worker (Tia Carrere), acts as a mentor to a gifted student (Mekhi Phifer), and clashes with a tough-as-nails principal (Louise Fletcher). With Malinda Williams, Guillermo Diaz. 85 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; theatrical trailer.
