Three O'Clock High
Comedy101 min
Nerdy high schooler Jerry Mitchell gets a routine assignment for the school paper: profile Buddy Revell, the infamous new transfer student everyone seems afraid of. Casey Siemaszko is Jerry, whose attempt to dodge the story turns into a bigger problem when one awkward encounter leaves him challenged to an afterschool fight in the parking lot. With three o’clock getting closer, Richard Tyson’s Buddy hangs over the entire school day as Jerry searches for any way out. What starts as a small mistake keeps spiraling through hallways, classrooms, and the school office, with Jeffrey Tambor among the adults making Jerry’s day even harder.
