Webslinger Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Easy A is borderline. It technically came out during the '10s (and it does incorporate social media, which is a must for capturing this generation of teenagers), but 2010 was effectively still the '00s in spirit, so... I agree with Lordmandeep's post that 21 Jump Street is probably the closest we've come so far this decade. And to think that of all things, it's an update of an '80s TV drama that accomplished that feat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Yeah, 21 JS is fairly close.However here is one a lot of people are overlooking (despite only a third of it or so taking place in high school)Boyhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Pretty much echo that 21 Jump Street is probably the closest this decade for depicting high school in the movies, since Easy A came out right at the beginning of the decade. Although I definitely think Pitch Perfect would fit the bill had it been set in high school and not in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) 21 jump street showcased how high school had changed.Like my cousins the nerdy one is cool now...the big Buff airhead is not.
