Fast-paced, schizophrenic, low-brow, trying-to-hard high school movie satire shot like a less cool Scott Pilgrim. It misuses the term "hipsters" at least twice in the opening. The comedy, as much as it is so, is based on frequent vulgar statements and a montage of 80s high school cliches pretending to be 90s high school cliches.

Sometimes a mummy briefly interrupts the frantic stream of pop culture sight gags to stab or axe someone. It fails to axe the girl who, in surviving, becomes the main girl.

Some NHL player is their coach, and delivers a combination of the guy from the Old Spice commercials and Terry Crews. The football star grew up with a TV on his hand and vomits acid and can turn into a fly. Like, oh my god, It'S sO rAnDoM.

The principal, Dane Cook, struggling to deliver lines, gives the kids detention for… oh, who keeps track. Happily, Dane Cook dies. The kids try to sort out which of them is the murderer through high-speed pop culture reference drops and an always-moving camera. The ditzy girl time travels to 1992 to learn how to dance.

Then they all start time travelling in a taxidermied bear, and it's full of Spy Kids CGI. They defeat the killer, but he's not really defeated, and then the stuffed bear eats him.
