High Sticking

About This Movie

High Sticking is one of those films that plays out like a locker room tale gone wild. The atmosphere is raucous, full of camaraderie and mischief, yet it somehow captures the raw energy of a post-game celebration. The pacing is uneven, almost like a scrimmage where the players are still figuring out their moves. There's a certain authenticity in how the actors engage in the antics of body-checking and playful competition, which adds a layer of cheekiness to the whole experience. Not really aiming for any lofty commentary, it revels in the silliness of its premise, and it’s this unpretentious nature that makes it stand out a bit. A quirky piece, for sure.

High Sticking is a bit of a hidden gem and doesn't have much in the way of traditional distribution. It's a challenge to find in any format, with most collectors aware of its VHS roots but fewer having access to digital or DVD releases. This scarcity has sparked a niche interest among those who appreciate sports-themed comedies, making it a curious piece for any collector focused on offbeat cinema.
