They seem to just act like typical teenagers, but it looks like it'll be entertaining. Love BBD's Poison playing in the background. Thoughts?

It's based on utter bs slung by Dustin Diamond. I cant get behind this movie. It looks hilarious but I just cant.

I agree. It looks like fluffy fiction. I think it's totally made up, but I think it'll be silly fun.

The promo was really funny, had me crackin up. To me that was high comedy. If the movie follows that same dry formula, it has great potential. Good for the creators.

Yes! The promo had me laughing out loud.

Looks funny as all hell but couldn't they find actors/actresses that look more like the cast?

I have to agree. The cast doesn't look a lot like the original actors, but this is a cheesy Lifetime movie, so I don't expect too much from the producers.

IF it gives me even half of Dustin Diamond's tell all, I will be watching on repeat.

The fact that the actors only look slightly like the original cast makes it even more hilarious. Like the "stunt double" scene in Spaceballs...I can't wait to watch this.

OP - totally agree with you! Every time I see this promo on tv, I think it is going to be silly fun. And I agree - I love the song they play in the background - it just makes the promo perfect. I wasn't a Saved By the Bell fan back in the day - I was a tad bit older than that crowd who loved the show, but it was fun to watch if nothing else was on. I normally wouldn't care about watching this movie based on them, but because of the promo I am now going to give it a shot. I bet it's going to be hilarious as well!

I think the fact that they cast actors that look nothing like the original cast, lets me know Lifetime is not taking this movie seriously.

And why should it be taken seriously?

The movie is about teenagers being mean to their younger castmate, hooking up, maybe smoking a doobie, etc. The movie is about b eing stupid in your teen years......Oh, the Scandal.

I hope the camp is over the top.


You don't know me.
You only think you do.

this was awful. The only thing that I realized afterwards was the this was Dustin trying to tell everyone that he is fine with who he is...we don't give a flying %#@%. There was nothing else to this. Hopefully a few of these Canadian actors get noticed though...then maybe some good might come from this trainwreck.
