In this irreverent comedy, a high school senior navigates love triangles, patriarchal pressures, and prom queen politics in a surreal, self-absorbed world where irony and misogyny reign supreme. As Gwen Adams considers divorce from her young husband and Hilary Weiss plots to become prom queen, their lives are turned upside down by Principal Mann's antics and Gwen's own pursuit of individuality and femininity. With its bold, if not always sweet, take on teenage angst, American High School is a wildly entertaining, if occasionally cringe-worthy, coming-of-age romp.
