Review of Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life (2016) by Corey C — 05 Feb 2017

Give this one a miss.

I never say this about a movie and it's really hard when watching a children's movie to say it's bad because you never really expect them to be good, but this is all sorts of campy and dreadful. The child actors aren't what I'd call bad but their direction and the shots they have re just terrible. The story itself sound like a good idea but the movie focuses on such wrong things. The movie never explained how they got into the school dozens of times or why the video security system never caught them even though it was established that it EXISTS. The movie also passes over a dead brother and a cancer death like it was nothing not to mention how they could afford the elaborate "pranks" plus it forces so agresivly both a painful "love interest" and a douche ,terrible mother's boyfriend into the picture. She is never given once a reason to like him and seems so oblivious to him constantly putting down the children... Like who does that.

I thought I would give it a shot before suggesting it to my mother to show my younger siblings, but that is never going to happen now.

I never say don't watch a movie I always say just watch it once and then base your opinion on what you see, but this is honest to god a waste of time.
