Visually amazing. Brilliantly funny and non-stop entertainment…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Veronica M (85) on 15 Apr 2012

Totally confused. I guess those who know better about American pop cultures would like it…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 13 Apr 2012

It breaks the mold and burns the roadmap, fearlessly pushing boundaries and going into nonsensical corners most films and filmmakers wouldn't…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for CraveOnline (813) on 13 Apr 2012

If you're a film lover who watches movies all the time, it's nice to have a film or two out there that elevates the craft of watching a movie…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Lion L (2) on 13 Apr 2012

Felt like an offspring of Diablo Cody and Edgar Wright, and portrayed high school as if it were on speed and acid…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Adam Fendelman (235) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 12 Apr 2012

Kahn's fast-paced, Aaron Sorkin-like Detention deserves cult-hit status…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Richard Roeper.com (322) on 12 Apr 2012

Tries way, way, way too hard. A directorial drum solo that quickly wears out its welcome…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Sandie Angulo Chen (751) for Common Sense Media (4,943) on 12 Apr 2012

Bloody teen slasher ridicules genre's many stereotypes…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Ethan Alter (997) for Television Without Pity (337) on 12 Apr 2012

Once you get past the movie's rough beginnings and adjust to its goofy spirit and episodic randomness, Detention becomes a good deal of fun…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Chris S (3,490) on 12 Apr 2012

I knew before seeing this that most people would hate it and it would instead be a cult classic, and now having seen it, I realize that my…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Michael C. Walsh (9) for Boston Phoenix (1,372) on 12 Apr 2012

Sort of like The Breakfast Club meets Donnie Darko, except without a hint of subtlety…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Farran Smith Nehme (295) for New York Post (6,650) on 12 Apr 2012

Detention does have imaginative editing and a stylish, candy-colored look - that is, so long as no one's vomiting, an activity that takes up…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Alec B (1,705) on 11 Apr 2012

Scott Pilgrim/Scream/Hot Tub Time Machine... The 90s are the new 80s…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Mark Dujsik (2,093) for Mark Reviews Movies (2,037) on 11 Apr 2012

It's as if someone vomited pastel-hued nostalgia. I must apologize for that statement: Pastel vomit would take some effort to produce…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 11 Apr 2012

Exhausting before its first few minutes of whip-pans, smash cuts, coarsely self-referential jokes and on-screen text visuals is over, the teen…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Nicolas Rapold (488) for New York Times (5,786) on 11 Apr 2012

Horror fans will probably grow impatient with the unevenly executed Scream-style self-awareness, and Mr…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 11 Apr 2012

This is a film with enough ideas to fuel five different movies and not a single one of them is any good…

Review of Detention (2012)

By John Hartl (735) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 11 Apr 2012

Resembles a movie less than it suggests an evening of determined, incoherent channel-hopping - with the help of a remote control that's apparently…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Elizabeth Weitzman (1,905) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 11 Apr 2012

It's as if the TV character Dawson directed Heathers, or another one, Parker Lewis, remade Scream. Who'd have guessed that would be a can't-lose idea…

Review of Detention (2012)

By Connie Ogle (690) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 11 Apr 2012
