The concept of two dudes fighting after school is certainly nothing new in Hollywood, but FIST FIGHT decides to put a silly spin on it by making those two dudes teachers. Ice Cube and Charlie Day star in this new comedy directed by Richie Keen (IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA). While much of this look fairly predictable, it’s great to see Tracy Morgan back on the big screen, and hearing Ice Cube utter “F#&k the police!” is certainly amusing consider his history with that phrase. The supporting cast includes Christina Hendricks, Jillian Bell and Kumail Nanjiani. Take a look at the new f-bomb filled red band trailer and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
On the last day of the school year, mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell (Day) is trying his best to keep it together amidst outrageous senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that are putting his job on the line just as his wife is expecting their second baby. But things go from bad to worse when Campbell crosses the school’s toughest and most feared teacher, Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), causing Strickland to be fired. To Campbell’s shock—not to mention utter terror—Strickland responds by challenging him to a fist fight after school. News of the fight spreads like wildfire as Campbell takes ever more desperate measures to avoid getting the crap beaten out of him. But if he actually shows up and throws down, it may end up being the very thing this school, and Andy Campbell, needed.

I realize, of course, that a good premise can and will get remade over and over, and I actually think that’s a good thing. But in this particular case, well, at least I can watch Three O’clock High with my kids. “You and me are gonna fight at 3 O’clock, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” Man, I loved the 80’s.
