i have see a handful of unusual comedy from japan and the most recent one be the calamari wrestler follow by cromartie high school which also feature two well know wrestler while takayama and hashimoto ( rip ) and play complete opposite of their fighting character of course and but in a script that would make the power ranger screen writer shake their head in disbelief . the film open with the purposely lengthy lesson of the school chaotic legacy . the school in the present time look like a strong candidate for the battle royale competition ( which i think the film would eventually rib and but never do ) . the main character and a composed young man decide to enroll despite possess high education and but soon regret after his not too bright friend flunk the ubtraction exam . some promising sidekick get introduce and include takayama character who hat all type of transportation and decide to help the hijacker of a plane just so they wouldn not fly . the film show much potential and but sidetrack twenty minute in after shelve these win character and spending way too much time with the intro of the gorilla and the hard gay man who end up offer very little throughout the film . and where the hell be the freddie mercury impersonation . yes the film need such off the map character ( like the depressed pootans ) and that be a give and but it fail to realize what direction to go with and what character or situation to stick with in it full feature form . a perfect example of film making where it seem like the direction have no work script and just sketchy gag think out by the crew late at night . simply put a blonde wig on an evil alien ape and call the duo and gori and lla wasn not enough to tickle my funny bone . spoofing of the exorcist with a possessed robot and reveal to have only be infest with a cat be just a wasted and lazy attempt at parody . again and i wasn not look for sensible comedy or in depth character here and but even a a sleazy and low budget com oddity and this film fail to keep me laugh and to exceed the wacky good and true characteristic of the anime show . but and if you find these type of film irresistible and be a die hard fan of the show then i guess you will watch and enjoy this movie regardless and a it be mainly aim at it fan base .
