Synopsis

Watch: Assassination of a High School President 2008 123movies, Full Movie Online – High School. Four of the most important years of your life. But it isn’t always dances and keg parties and sucking face in your parents’ mini-van. Sometimes it’s ugly and hard and complicated. As complicated as a conspiracy to overthrow the president. There’s something rotten at St. Donovan’s High and sophomore newspaper reporter Bobby Funke is on it like pink rubber bands on your little sister’s braces. When senior hottie Francesca Facchini solicits Funke’s help tracking down a set of stolen SATs, Funke uncovers a story dirtier than the lunch lady’s mustache. After he fingers the school president (figuratively) for the crime, Funke becomes one of the most popular kids at St. Donovan’s High. No longer known simply as the freshman who was once tied to a giant snowman penis, Funke wins the respect of everyone from the Desert-Storm-hero-turned-educator Principal Kirkpatrick to the kid that farts on him in Spanish class. When Francesca takes Funke to homecoming, even the in-school suspension delinquents turn nice and offer guidance on how to keep his boner in check during slow dances. But high school’s not always what it seems. As Funke’s popularity grows so do his suspicions. Did the president really steal the SATs? Or is Funke just a pawn in a conspiracy as complicated as adolescence itself? Determined to find the truth, Funke digs deeper and unearths the sordid underbelly of St. Donovan’s. Student council members, college bookies, public school brats, everyone seems to play a part. Armed only with a learner’s permit and the spirit of Woodward and Bernstein, Funke must crack the case before it cracks him..
Plot: After the theft of copies of SAT exams from a principal’s office, teenage reporter Bobby Funke sets out to unmask the thief. Bobby prints an article fingering Class President Paul Moore as the thief, shredding the youth’s reputation. But as Bobby gets to know Paul’s girlfriend, Francesca, he comes to realize he was wrong about Paul, so he sets out to unmask the true culprit.

A Mixed Bag
ASSASSINATION OF A HIGH SCHOOL PRESIDENT is a big step above most of the teen movies that focus on potty mouth dialogue and absurd situations just to get laughs. Writers Tim Calpin and Kevin Jakubowski have come up with a script that is sometimes smart but ultimately full of holes in deciding where it wants to take the original premise of this high school movie. Director Brett Simon seems to sort of let the movie flow as it develops, preventing a tight telling of a story with potential.

Bobby Funke (Reece Thompson, a promising new talent) is a nerdy newspaper reporter who is never able to finish a story. Student Body President/basketball star/ladies’ man Paul Moore (Patrick Taylor) seems to have everything Bobby wants, including the attention of the school’s most beautiful girl Francesca (Mischa Barton). As fortune would have it a crime happens – the SATs are stolen from the office of Principal Kirkpatrick (Bruce Willis playing Bruce Willis) and Booby is on the investigation and story, a story that points to Paul as the perpetrator. Bobby’s nerdiness is transformed by his attention and by the affections of Francesca, and soon the school collapses under the cloud of the crime. It is how the ‘crime’ is inspected and resolved that ends the film. For Bobby Funke it is a matter of ‘What price glory’.

The cast is fresh and it is a pleasure to see some new faces with promise. Whether it is the director’s or the sound mixer’s fault, much of the dialogue is swallowed by the soundtrack, a problem thankfully solved by turning on the subtitles. This is a movie with promise from all involved and it will be interesting to see if it has an impact on teen flick quality.

High School Confidential. . .and Wackiness
Either it’s heaven or hell, the four years of high school define us, like it or not, preparing us for adulthood. Some of us are already “old” by that time and the lead hero, Bobby Funke, of the breezy, smart aleck school satire/mystery/coming-of-age opus, “Assassination Of a High School President”, is definitely one of them.

If he’s not correcting the way people pronouncing his last name (the “e” is silent); noting his grade status, despite his baby face (sophomore); trying (and failing) to get his driver’s license or downplaying the event of him being tied to a giant penis made out of snow (!), Funke (Reece Daniel Thompson of “Rocket Science”) is trying to be a wunderkind newshound at the Catholic high school he attends, St. Donovan. Problem is he hasn’t finished a piece.

So, the paper’s editor (spunky Melonie Diaz of “Raising Victor Vargas”) assigns Funke to do a piece on class prez/basketball player Paul Moore (Patrick Taylor). Moore’s basically a himbo, but also becomes a patsy when the SAT tests scores are stolen from the principal’s office. Seeing himself akin to Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, Funke rolls with the story and becomes a hero. He even gets the amorous respect of Moore’s ex-girl, the popular Francesa Fachini (Mischa Barton of “The O.C.”).

However, things are more sinister, especially involving Moore’s successor/Francesa’s step-sib, handsome but sleazy Marlon Piazza (Luke Grimes of the TV drama, “Brothers and Sisters”) and that puts Funke is a tight squeeze between high school popularity and journalistic integrity.

An entry at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, “Assassination” is a dark, witty romp that plays on the inanities of high school by putting them in a mystery/pulp noir bag. Sure, “Brick” did it before, but “Assassination” has more humor, subtle and loud, thanks to first-time feature film helmer Brett Simon (did some music videos) and tyro scribes Tim Calpin and Kevin Jakubowski (both were crew members on “South Park”).

A younger version of Tom Cruise but with likable geekiness, Thompson shines with an old man complex (he’s probably the only student who knows who the aforementioned reporters are!). He wants to belong, but the environment’s twisted and immature, despite it being a Catholic high school. Barton’s pretty durable in the junior femme fatale role, not deserving the attacks from people who probably never went to an acting class.

The surprise here’s Bruce Willis (how the **** did he get in this and you know what he’s been in, mother******) as the school’s hard ass principal, war vet Jared T. Kirkpatrick, who has a zero-tolerance policy against gum chewing and reminisces about his Gulf War days. Like Adam Baldwin’s John Casey of “Chuck”, Kirkpatrick’s a mentally jittery trigger who resents being in a mundane workplace, infested with social scofflaws.

Some of said individuals help with Funke’s investigation, including perverts Dutch Middleton (Joe Perrino) and Ricky Delacruz (Vincent Piazza, also of “Science” and “Boardwalk Empire”) and jailbait stripper Sam Landis (Cameron Diaz-like Tanya Fischer of the new TV version of “The Defenders”).

The faculty’s nuts too. Josh Pais (“Teeth”) is a Spanish-language teacher who has an inappropriate lust over the students. Nurse Platt (Kath Morris of “Cold Case”) is no different but more hippie-like. Michael Rappaport (“Hitch”, “Big Fan”) is an overgrown teenager of a basketball coach who’s actually a English teacher. The inmates have taken over, people.

With cleverness and echoes from “Chinatown”, “Rushmore”, “The Usual Suspects” and “Assassin of Youth”, “Assassination” is a nice nutty take on how high school can be both cruel and hysterical. It’s a nice movie to watch on a Saturday night, if nothing’s good on the TV.
