Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Got my beautiful wife to watch something with a happy ending. We both love horror films, but I'm a bit burnt out with the usual possession/grizzly killing spree preformed by a slow walking killer that eventually kills everyone by the end of the movie and there is rarely a horror movie with a happy ending. So my wife and I agreed on this movie and it was simply delightful. Funny, witty and the acting was good...a bit too goofy at sometimes, but all in all, well worth watching. Don't know who I hated more in this movie...the evil principal or the dirt bag boyfriend of the kids mother. I'll let you decide. I very much recommend seeing this film. Peace my minions.

Imaginative quiet teenager Rafe Katchadorian is tired of his middle school's obsession with the rules at the expense of any and all creativity. Desperate to shake things up, Rafe and his best friends have come up with a plan: break every single rule in the school and let the students run wild. Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life is a film that i was expecting to hate since the trailer was pretty bad but even tho some of the lines are kinda childish and the principal looks like an evil and annoying version of Paul Feig it was still a good and funny movie and easily the best part of it was the animation and the drawings that the main character did threw out the movie and the overall result was a nice relaxing film with some good performances. (8/10)

SPOILER ALERTthis movie is such a waste of time. As an avid reader of the books I was offended by how they treated this series. by adding boob jokes and toilet humor. After watching this I was wondering if they even realized that this was a book.Literally the only good part was the animations from Rafes notebook. You know its sad when the only good parts last 5 minutes long and aren't even the main story.Also their is a large amount of racism like when the janitor say a Japanese battle cry, The sister of RAfe (georgia) says "did you just have a stroke?" and the principal forcing the vice principal (who is black) to always carry all of his stuff and forcing her to get fired with him. The main character Rafe is such an over-privileged douche bag. Thinking that the world always must revolve around him. If one thing doesn't work out for him he gets revenge. In a way worse way like vandalism. Middle school worst years of my life? more like worst adaptation of my life. this is also a pandering piece of garbage

I haven't read the book(s). I had high expectations based on reviews noting that the film "celebrates creativity and out-of-the-box thinking" (Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times, 7 October 2016), two qualities of education which, in my opinion, are all but doomed in modern Western education. I was disappointed. Other reviewers have covered details of what was wrong, and right, with this film, so let me just say that in trying to make a mass-marketable film, the creators missed two important goals. The underlying message of the film is important for adults, counterproductive for adolescents. As the reverse seems to be the intent, one negates the other. Educators and parents need to be slapped in the face with the fact that schools are conformity factories, not unlike prisons. A light comedy with cartoonish authority figures - the principal and vice-principal - engaging in clearly illegal and inappropriate activities defeats this purpose. As for the adolescents, the message of getting in touch with creativity and out-of-the-box thinking is hopelessly overshadowed by the superficial take-away, that pranks and mayhem are effective and justified methods of achieving creativity (and justice). One more point: yes, this is a "nerd v. bully" film, but Miller, the adolescent bully, is just a red herring. The real bully, of course, is Principal Dwight. Giving kids the impression, even in jest, that they can overcome such a powerful authority figure with a series of harmless hi-jinks is setting them up for a life of detention. The one saving feature of a film that tried to do too much was the touching bond between Rafe and his recently-departed brother. Rafe's difficulty in letting go was beyond heartbreaking, and the maturity he gained in this coming-of-age process was beyond heartwarming.
