I actually like a lot of Troma films. Low budget comedy isn't always a bad thing but it does have to have at least a sense of humour and some decent casting. This film has neither. Unfunny script and no-talent actors in their 30s playing college kids is a recipe for a disaster and that certainly holds true for this "movie". Add the total lack of meaningful production values and you have a steaming pile of crap trying to be the next Van Wilder. They spent about $5 on the opening titles--all 20 seconds of them-- and maybe $7.50 on the score. The background music is so horrible that I almost turned the movie off after the first 30 seconds. Most amateur efforts on YouTube have better music. Then there is the setting. A dorm room (I guess) with a couple of thirty something college kids eating what is supposed to be a high class meal. There's a chocolate cake and some cheap looking wine on the table. The movie is supposed to be in Las Vegas so they segue to some stock footage of a fountain that I guess is the Bellagio and then you see some guys talking on a generic looking street. After that I just quit watching. I didn't laugh and in fact I didn't even crack a smile during what was probably less than 10 minutes. But it felt like a couple of hours of torture. I didn't even manage to stick around to see Lloyd Kaufman who I usually enjoy. It just wasn't worth it. So you can discount my review and hope that it gets better after I quit watching but I really strongly doubt it. Avoid at all costs unless you have a relative in this movie. That's probably the reason that the rating is 6 point something. There are only about 250 ratings at the time I write this so I'm certain that most of those ratings came from cast, crew and relatives!

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL is an attempt by Troma to do a high school sex comedy in the American PIE mould. Unfortunately it never even comes close to being funny and despite having slightly better production values than most, it's a near-unwatchable mess of a movie. The story is about four dull and unfunny guys who are caught cheating at an exam and instead of being punished are set tasks by an eccentric teacher. These tasks typically consist of the guys bedding beautiful women or visiting a sex club. There's a lot of sexual content but not as much nudity as you'd expect and virtually no exploitation. Lloyd Kaufman appears for a brief and crude cameo. Even though LAST DAY OF SCHOOL has better acting than usual, as a comedy it's a real non-starter.
