Is this a reboot of the movie THREE O'CLOCK HIGH but with teachers!


The plot sounds exactly like that of the film THREE O'CLOCK HIGH, but replacing the students with teachers! Sounds cool to me.

i was thinking Joe Somebody,

Nice guy encounters aggressor, gets challenged to a fight. Film plays out over time period as hero tries to figure out how to escape or win, learning about himself along the way. Yeah, it's been done a few times. 3 O'Clock High was the first that came to mind too, but there are others.

I think I want to see it, mainly due to the cast.

My signature is for sale. Reach out to dozens of people a year!

As a bunch of others have said, 3 O'Clock High. That being said, I will definitely see it. I mean hell, that movie stole the plot from High Noon, basically. Looks funny, why not? It's not as bad as remaking Gilligan's Island. Wait, they did do that- it's called Wrecked and it's pretty funny. But the reality is, they have a bunch of guys in suits, whose parents are or were "in the industry" and have zero creativity. This all started at USC in the 80's when they had a "film" professor teaching about grosses in Variety, not films themselves.

Just saw the preview, and that is exactly what came to mind. A rehash of Three O'Clock High.

I was thinking of the same thing.

That is true. I haven't seen THREE O'CLOCK HIGH in years. This film actually reminded me of a Tim Allen film called JOE SOMEBODY. In that film Tim Allen has to fight a bully played by Patrick Warburton. It just goes to show how creativity is almost non-existent in Hollywood today.

I came here to post the same exact thing. I just watched that movie a few days ago for the first time in years and then I see this trailer. weird.

Like everyone else in this thread, The second I saw the trailer, I thought Three O'Clock High. What clearly cemented it was the paid guy to intimidate the bully that get taken out with a punch.
