Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

jerekra I watched Cheats a few years ago with my friend. He hyped it up as a great funny film that is one of the best comedies ever. I think he was on crack or something. I just recently learned that this film was not released into theatres, I can understand why perfectly.THe basic plot involves a group of guys who cheat on pretty much all of their assignments in school to get good grades. That is the main problem of this film is that the morals are all bad. There are other teen comedy films where students do bad things but it is most often stuff that does not take place at school. So I think that the concept of having a whole movie that basically has kids cheating on everything is pretty bad.I did not like the characters in this film either. The main character guy is a completely smug arrogant idiot who is not a good protagonist. Actually I am not sure if you could say that there is a protagonist due to the fact that they all are cheating at school which is wrong. THe other supporting characters were not funny at all and basically the cast blows in this film.This film has a bad message and even worse acting and characters. There are other teen films that are way better than this film. So you do not have to see this one and that is a good thing because I do not recommend this film at all.

Larzorx While watching this movie i realized that it was the best 85 minutes of my life! Not only does it portray the exact idea that every teenager has in his/her mind, but they actually DO go through w/ the plans! Each character is so different that i almost wish they were my friends! This movie can be called nothing other than a flipping masterpiece! I believe that if you haven't seen this movie, then you are surely being deprived of something beautiful. I loved how they totally played Mr. Harkin (the flaming, mean teacher) and how they dissed Mrs. Herman. Not to mention how they screwed over horny and greedy! Oh man! just writing my view on this movie makes me want to go watch it again! and i believe i will! please, if you haven't had the joy of watching this movie before, i advise that you rent it, sit down with your closest friends, make some popcorn and gaze at the television! then try to contact Andrew Gurland, thanking him for giving you the chance to witness the most miraculous thing you've ever seen!all in all - This movie is absolutely the best in the world. I beg everyone to see see and i learn from it; whether it be new techniques or not to ever cheat! In my mind it is a perfect depiction of the teenager mind in school. I think that in everyone's school there is a Victor, Handsome, Applebee, and Sammy, and quite possibly even a Shapiro! This movie is hands down perfection!

vchimpanzee Handsome met Sammy when they were very young and no one wanted to be Sammy's friend because he was fat. They became notorious cheaters, and along with their friends Victor and Applebee, they could do just about anything. At North Point Academy, however, Principal Stark made their lives very difficult. Eventually, it seemed the group would fall apart. But would they? Would they really be able to give up cheating?The first half of this movie was pretty good, and often funny. Trevor Fehrman gave a great performance as the obnoxious and crafty Handsome. Mary Tyler Moore wasn't exactly Mary Richards, and I'm not even sure her acting was that great here. In the second half, though, she showed Principal Stark to be more than just an evil monster. Morris Panych was pretty good as a strange science teacher who may have been gay and had crazy ideas about what students could handle. And Chang Tseng was funny in a couple of scenes as the janitor. For the girls, Trevor took his shirt off for no particular reason a couple of times, and Matthew Lawrence had a great smile. I was more interested in Maggie Lawson, however. She was one of the students who could have found herself dragged into one of the guys' schemes. I won't say whether she stayed on the good side.The second half of the movie wasn't as funny, and the comedy was often dark. Some of the schemes bordered on the hilarious, and not everything worked as well as hoped. But I found the ending satisfying.This wasn't a classic, but it was enjoyable at times.

acearms The intro says its based on a true happening, if you want to believe that its your privilege. A fun movie to watch portraying the antics of high school students trying to finish their senior year, but addicted to cheating as the MO to get through. Some serious moments were okay but personality clashes as between characters Victor(Matthew Lawrence) and Applebee(Martin Starr)do not seem to fit the overall mood. The plot overall was good although somewhat predictable, with numerous subplots along the way to keep the interest up. Well worth the time to watch.
