Good, But Only Mediocre
1 April 2022
Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life has plenty of cheeky rebellion and a surprising touch of emotion, but it just appeals as more of a TV movie. Or it's just not the kind of film that should be released in real cinemas and comes out on DVD or the streaming services first. Overall, it's a fun adaptation of a middle school-set book with quirky characters within an inventive idea.

This family comedy is actually enjoyable, but the older you grow, the less likely you're destined to love it. Children ages 11 and under might just love it, considering they're in their boring schools and a fun movie about a quirky rebel-kid comes along. It's really bright and entertaining, with a few really good jokes. Teens will probably appreciate the emotional grief side, and adults and grandparents are simply either going to like or dislike it.

The reason it's not a random movie that plays on television is probably for two certain reasons. The cast isn't incredibly low-budget and provides us with a little anticipation for some decent characters, and that's exactly what they are. But this film's camera quality and overall cinematography is as exceptional as any other theatre movie. The actual concept is just mediocre.
