What critics compared Detention to
(It doesn't help, either, that this stretch is almost uncomfortably reminiscent of the vastly superior Donnie Darko .)
Sort of like The Breakfast Club meets Donnie Darko, except without a hint of subtlety.
The demented, hyperactive dark comedy Detention , by music-video veteran and Torque auteur Joseph Kahn, begins as a bald-faced Scream knock-off, but by the time it races to a surprisingly satisfying conclusion, it’s nakedly appropriated bits and pieces from just about every beloved Gen-X cult movie of the past 30 years—including, but not limited to, Back To The Future , Donnie Darko , The Fly , Southland Tales , The Breakfast Club , Juno , and She’s All That .
