Assassination of a High School President

Its now quarter to three in the morning, and I am utterly confused.
I really don't know what to think. I've just seen Brett Simon's Assassination of a High School President, and I just don't know what to think.
The only reason I know who Brett Simon is, is because I just saw his only movie, which never got released.
Was this movie the best thing I've ever seen? Maybe not, but was it near?
Was this the worst piece of footage in the same film roll? No, as I've seen "Jeepers Creepers 2" and that definitely takes the prize.
But so, then what the hell have I've just seen?
Well, (Might Contain Spoilers) let me tell you what I've just seen. I saw Claire Trevor (Yes, the Queen Of Film Noir) fucking with Zack Efferon (Yes, Im misspelling his name and I won't Hyper-link him). Seriously, this was "Brick" 2. It wasn't as good as Brick, but I never expected it. The first 30 minutes I thought this was the greatest thing I've ever see, it was just making me laugh about it, and wasn't really sure if I was laughing at them, or at the way they are parodying american films. But then the whole thing just became good, in a really weird way.
Sorry, by this point generally in my reviews, you already know everything about the movie and how much I either loved it, despised it or was bored by. So, the story is about a sophomore teen in high school in USA, and how he wished to be a reporter, and as he is given the task to do a cover article on the High School President, a really superficial and stupid basketball player. The SATs are stolen and his boot liking story makes our detective to realise that is Mr. President who stole the exams. The thing is that all the time you are going like : "C'mon I wont buy your bullshit", but then in the next scene you go like "OOOOOOOO, I see now, how smart". And the whole movie is like that, even Bruce Willies is in it, acting as the headmaster, no offence to Mr I. D. Tate, but I would love to have Bruce as my Headmaster. The thing is that he is not just the headmaster, he is how his characters would be as Headmasters, because in the movie he is also a veteran from the first gulf war. So the whole thing is just, just, just, I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS!!
Now, the tricky part. Do I recommend this movie?
Yes, I do.
Wait! Do I?
Yes, after a lot of taught (that's bullshit) I do recommend this movie.
Now the thing is that I really want you to watch it and as it never got really released, I will be lending this DVD to anyone interested. Well, I think that is it, I should really get some rest.
Cheers!
