Detention (2011)
2/10
Hodgepodge of pop culture nonsense.

Warning: Spoilers
My sister and I love to talk about how our even favorite actors have been in some terrible movies, and this is a perfect example. This movie is 95% misleading. It's about detention, sure, but only for ten minutes of the movie. The rest of it is ludicrous time traveling, ridiculous pop culture references, and wholly unattractive boob flashes. It's listed as a horror, but nothing was even remotely scary. (And just for the record, Clapton Davis is a pretty kickass name.)

If this seriously toned down the pop cultures 'jokes' and removed the horror aspect, it might have been a funny time-travel themed teen comedy. Instead, it's a low-brow, unclever attempt at... I don't really know. Nothing is clear about what this movie is trying to be, except a huge failure.
