Assassination of a High School President

ASSASSINATION OF A HIGH SCHOOL PRESIDENT DVD Review

Despite an interesting cast and passionate pleas from more than one film critic, Brett Simon’s Assassination of a High School President is the latest project to be burped out of the gaping, bankrupt maw of the Yari Film Group and directly onto the DVD market. Yari’s failure has claimed some terrific films – most notably a pair of Rod Lurie movies – and although Assassination doesn’t quite deserve to be lumped in with the best of the studio’s aborted litter, it’s certainly better than most direct-to-video projects, and well worth a rental and 90 minutes of your time.

It’s Official – ASSASSINATION OF A HIGH SCHOOL PRESIDENT Goes Straight to DVD

At Sundance 2008, I saw a fantastic movie called “Assassination of a High School President”. The film was the debut feature from director Brett Simon and it’s a high school mystery that’s laugh out loud funny. Here are some clips. Anyway, back in March of this year, many sites wrote about the film and said it deserved a theatrical release. The only reason it wasn’t getting one is the original distributor (Yari Film Group) went bankrupt.

Unfortunately, I just got an email announcing the DVD release, so it looks like many of you are never going to see “Assassination of a High School President” in a movie theater. And I have to say, with all the crap that gets released week in and week out, this is a real disappointment. The only good news is the film is finally coming out and you’ll all get to see what everyone was raving about at Sundance. What’s coming on the DVD is after the jump:
