Late for School

About This Movie

Late for School is this quirky slice of '90s comedy that captures that chaotic energy you sometimes feel on a bad day. Joey's misadventures start off relatable—waking up late, missing the bus—but then it takes this wild turn when a bank robber stumbles into his school. The pacing is frenetic, and the mix of slapstick with a hint of suspense keeps you engaged. The performances are a bit over-the-top, but that adds to its charm. The practical effects, though not groundbreaking, have that tangible feel that CGI just can't replicate. It's a light-hearted romp that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is a nice departure from more formulaic comedies of the time.

Late for School is one of those 'hidden gems' that didn't see a wide release, making original VHS copies a bit of a novelty. It's not exactly rare, but it's not something you come across every day either. Collector interest is modest, mainly due to its nostalgic value and unique premise. The film was released on DVD, but the early home video formats have a certain appeal for those looking to capture the essence of '90s teen comedies.
