Comedy about school and college: not just for teens

Comedy about school and college is a very, very common category. She is beloved by the United States filmmakers. One of the most famous franchises on this subject is American Pie.

The first film was shot in 1999 by the brothers Chris and Paul Weitz, the then Hollywood debutants. The daredevils of Vaytsy raised a problem that is of great importance to many guys - how to quickly and void the most memorable way to part with virginity. The quartet of the main characters of the “Pie” throughout the whole picture is quite funny, but stubbornly went to a common goal. Namely, to experience the joys of carnal love until graduation. Everyone has achieved certain results. But most of all, the Jewish boy Jim performed by Jason Biggs was the luckiest - his storyline is the only touching and lyrical one. He could find true love in the person of the same age as Heather, played by the future star of the Oscar-winning American Beauty and the drama Boys Don't Cry, Men Suvari. Other parts of the franchise (they were removed 5 more, including those with very matured characters) were only a pale and more vulgar repetition of the “passed”.

Not Just Below the Belt

Another small movie, which can be described as "comedy about school and college," is "The King of Parties." As in the case of Pie, the first part came out more successful, most likely due to the participation of Ryan Reynolds. He plays the dunce and cuticle of Vienna Wilder (the film is named after him in the original). This guy is not at all interested in studying, he is stuck in college and cannot graduate for 6 years. Wilder's passion is loose sessions. Once his dad gets bored with this order of things, and he refuses his son financial support. This is where the fun begins ... American comedies about school (and generally youth comedies) sin with a considerable amount of “below the belt” humor. So the "King of Parties" is as follows. A pleasant exception to a number of such works was two comedies about school and college, in which the main characters change their bodies. This is “Boy in Girl”, when the girl Nell from a “decent family” (crammed and tikhon) and the leader of the school football team, handsome Woody, have to try on the “skin” of the antagonist. Another comedy from the same "clip" - "Freaky Friday." Mom-psychologist performed by Jamie Lee Curtis and her informal daughter (Lindsay Lohan) had a chance to feel all the “charm” of the metamorphosis that happened to them.

Two pretty gizmos with Tatum

The list of “Comedy about school and college” should include and unpretentious, but pretty little thing with the participation of Amanda Baines and Channing Tatum “She is a man”. This is a very free interpretation of the famous work of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Only Viola is modern and advanced here, and she disguises herself as her brother Sebastian for the passion of football. The 2012 film Macho and Nerd proved that school comedy films can be truly exciting. This remake of the cult TV series Jump Street 21 blew up ratings. And the central performers Channing Tatum (yes, he was noted here!) And John Hill were just great! Fans of the film expect his sequel - the premiere is promised in the summer of 2014.
