Dean Cain's Happy Ending

You know I was watching this movie the other day and I realized that the headmaster firing the Dean was the best thing that could have happened to the Dean. I say this because despite the fact that he was a dick, he never did anything out of line and to be honest he was only a dick to people who weren't doing their jobs. So more than likely the morning after the party the dean could have easily sued and filed a police report. Authorities would have shown up and arrested both Jamal and Silas and drug testing would give much needed weight to the dean's story. Not the mention the background of prostitution the head master and the hefty blackmail leverage he has against the vice president. In the end the dean probably would have been named the new Head master of Harvard and thus would have had his happy ending.

*Of course this would be assuming he didn't wig out and try to kill peope with an axe. He kinda of boned himself with that one lol.

You're looking WAY too far into the movie. The movie is called "How High" for Christ sakes, I don't think the producers were intending on keeping the movie realistic.

Dude I know that it was just a funny thing i thought off while watching it. I love this movie.

I just saw this for the first time tonight (it's on Netflix instant view) and I thought that the character would just become laid back again at some point (because clearly that was how he would be if he didn't have the sort of inhibitions you have in order to be a dean at Harvard, presumably) and that firing him was a bit harsh. But then he picked up the axe.

It's hilarious that I or anyone else thought more deeply than required into that character.

". . .Authorities would have shown up and arrested both Jamal and Silas and drug testing would give much needed weight to the dean's story. . ."

A drug test would just show that they have smoked weed recently (not necessarily the day prior), which is not illegal. It is illegal to possess or sell weed, not to have smoked weed, or be high.

Yeah, I don't know why I felt the need to add that. Sometimes we just can't help ourselves:D

Isn't Dean Cain the guy who played Superman in the '90s??
