Review of Malibu High

Some of my fondest memories of attending school were in my early years. Especially when I was sent to the principal's office for bad behavior. I remember the first time I was sent. I was in the first grade. It was actually during lunch when in those days, the lunchroom used real silverware before going to plastic utensils decades later. I wanted to show my classmates that I have superhuman strength so I started to bend silverware to show off. In fact, many spoons and forks were rendered useless due to my boneheaded idea. There I was, a scrawny little kid sitting across from the secretary outside the Principal's door anticipating the worst. The principal was ready to discuss my transgressions in the lunchroom as the telephone rang again. I had to wait for my lecture and some kind of proper punishment for a little child who is about to take a bad road in the game of education. Our story centers around a high school, well developed girl named Kim played by Jill Lansing. Recently dumped and vengeful, Kim goes on a rampage with her Schoolteachers as her grades begin to fall. Kim begins to arouse her male teachers by showing off her assets as the grades rise for the wrong reasons. One educator is not fooled. Enter Principal Elmhurst played by John Harmon. Old, crusty, hard of hearing and constantly pounding his chest for more nitroglycerin pills. Mr. Elmhurst always reaches into his coat pocket for his variety sized bottle of the little white beauties whenever his heart is a flutter. Mr. Elmhurst Insisted on meeting with Kim's Mom, but he could never reach her on the phone. (Thank goodness cell phones weren't invented). Kim suggests that Principle Elmhurst should come over to the house tonight to meet with her Mom in person. Of course, when Old Elmhurst arrives, Mother is nowhere to be found. Kim answers the door wearing a bathrobe and a smile. Quick hands are in order as Kim takes the Principle's coat and puts it (minus the pills) on the hanger. Kim has him wait in the other room as she dis-robes and re-enters as a thunderstruck, eye popping educator starts the familiar pounding on his chest and the need to pop a few pills to subside the angina. He runs over to his coat to reach for his bottle, but Kim already took them away as he falls to the floor. This is a spoiler, but worth watching for those who have been wronged by Principals. Other parts of the movies like the final chase scene accompanied by the People's Court theme song make you wonder why this film was ever made. I guess I enjoyed watching authority suffer during these cheesy afternoon flick. As for my sentence proclaimed by my Principal, I had to wipe down all the tables in the lunchroom for 5 days.
